I PMed with reggie finley aka infidel guy. I suggested a show featuring a debate on Jesus history with a twist: both are unbelievers: one is a mythicist, the other is not.

He said that he had the same idea. He is looking for people who really know their shit on this subject to be guests.

I am sure that some people here really know their shit on this subject,

Is the show upcoming or are you looking for help finding those unbelievers?

I think that James Still is on record as believing in a HJ.

"On the record"? I don't know, Toto, whether he would want to make an argument for it at this time. See his review of Earl's book.

Depending on the discussion partner, I might want to talk about the issues. I would prefer the written word, however.

I was talking with Rick Sumner a while back about making a game of it, after the style of the sophists. I would be pro and he con, and then we would switch roles. I would especially be interested in doing it that way: first I argue for a historical Jesus with one person, and then I argue against with the same or another person.

Who would be interested in taking on such a discussion? It could be done this summer. IIDB would be a good home for it.

This could be fun.

best wishes,
Peter Kirby

LOL, let's do it as a phone-in, Peter. The charges won't be too much from here -- heck, we can do it internet Phone.
