The evidence is the bait.

Here is the evidence I have accumulated to be discussed concerning the postulate that we have christianity preceeding the rise of Constantine.

WTF?

Best wishes,

Thanks for your consideration. It is a rare commodity.

That hasn't been my experience, but that's the way it goes.

How does saying, the Jesus story was fiction but believed to be true, "aid and support HJers"? You not very logical.
By making the case for your side very badly, you make it look worse than it really is.

You are not very logical.

Joseph Smith wrote the words of his God from some mysterious plates shown to him by an angel, less than 200 years ago, and today there are millions of believers of Joseph Smith's Gods.

Once a believer believes something is true, he just believes it. Jesus believers are not any different.

If that was all you said, it wouldn't sound so bad. But you say more than that, and when you do you repeatedly argue illogically, as I demonstrated, at your request, on another thread some time ago. If you want, I will dig up that post and repeat the demonstration and we will see whether you can find any flaw in it.

You also make your case look worse than it really is by your stridency.

No, because I do it with logic.

What logics?

I cannot recall any post where you gave any logical explanations to your baseless assertions.

Look at this very post.

You just don't make sense.
