The relationship between secular Bible scholarship and religious based Bible scholarship is complex. There have been some previous threads on the economic and social pressures on scholars in this area. The idea of a secular, evidence-based mainstream scholarship is a pious hope more than a reality.
If myth is real it is real inside the mind of purviewer and there is no -ism about him, and so mythicism cannot be right as outsider to it.

So the Church can say: it is all in your head, and needs to say no more, but then that would also be the last word for them.

So they have designed this thing called religion so it would happen to them as believer, and so now all that they teach there is meant to be only what they can encounter as believer and recongize it when they get there.

Bottom line: it is about metamorphosis that is done by the [named] animal man and so is a hands-off event that is prior to nature in us, also prior to religion indeed. So now all religion can do is create to vision inside the mind of the believer when it is time to spon his own coccoon.

It is a 10 minute read and kind of tells us where religion should come to an end in a similar way that Stripe and Yellow find their own way, but the tower is needed for that to be known.

Thank you for proving my point! There aren't so many mythicist scholars so therefore it isn't credible!

Naturally, we also have the fallacy of begging the question too: A mythicist by definition can't be either "real" or "credible". Why? (See argumentum ad populum.)

Direct corollary to that reasoning you just gave us is that the only valid position is historicist. So thank you.

I figured anyone with nerve synapses firing would incorporate that over a thousand years the Church tortured, murdered, and persecuted anyone deemed a heretic. They burned books, forged documents, interpolated what we have before us now.

The bias that someone has is easily demonstrated when they pretend that doesn't matter.

Edit: Sorry Toto. I didn't know about the previous thred. He has now been forced to resign.
Their kind of tyranny is a thousand times better than your kind of democracy will ever be.

The State tortured, murdered etc. anyone that the Inquistor deemed as heretic, opposite to which you endorse the Herodian massacre in just not heretics but anyone they can get their hands on, and so not only rob them from eternal life but also awaken in them the fire of hell, now in the masses instead of the heretics who actually were given a chance to repent, but chose to die for their perversion and so prove the power of hell to the rest of the world.
