But, you also claimed you don't care either. Look at post #16 of this thread.

If thats something you believe, and think is true why wouldn't you?

I dont care if any of you are interested in debating theists. But its things like the Christ myth theory which is what makes us atheists look ignorant.

And very silly
Slow down, hon. Make one bigger post rather than four in four minutes. You can edit your posts for two hours to add more thoughts. [/friendly suggestion from a mod of a different forum, not a commandment]

For one, I don't debate religion outside of these forums. It's just not something I do in person.

For another, there is sooooooooo much to argue about in Christianity in particular, or religion in general, that one could happily argue for years without ever getting to the MJ/HJ debate. I've been here 6 years, and only rarely piped up in these threads, though I do read them.

Who cares how respectable they are?
Look at what they say and see how it weighs up against those who say different.

I think you place altogether too much weight on any given individual's "respectability" as a historian. You need to let go of those credentials and think for yourself! That's the glory of being an atheist - we make up our own minds, not adhere to anyone's say-so.

ETA: what Transient said. Curse my slow typing!

Because most of you people are anti religious atheists, who hate religion, and would love nothing more then to take the most radical postion on the subject.

That's a mighty broad brush you're using, Tim. Care to replace it with one a mite thinner and more accurate?

I am one of the least "anti-religion" atheists on this board.

[Supervisor's Hat On] OK, guys, knock off the troll accusations. They do nothing to further the conversation.
