Default Doherty responds to Bernard Muller's Critique

http://pages.ca.inter.net/~oblio/CritiquesMuller1.htm

Quote:
I wish the quality of this critique were more professional, both in style and content. In general, it is poorly written, though that may be due in part to English not being his first language. But that's no excuse for the sophomoric rhetoric and a disorganized method of argumentation. Nor does his lack of knowledge and proficiency in ancient philosophy and the Greek language justify the naively confident, often supercilious tone. My focus, however, will be on the strength and legitimacy of his arguments against The Jesus Puzzle. To go back to my opening quote, Muller's biggest problem is a "failure of imagination," in that what he himself cannot conceive must not be; so much of what he argues is from the position of personal incredulity.

Is part two not up, or is the link bad? Fun to watch Earl annihilate Muller.
