...are Solo and I the only ones who saw that article and Dirge's response as tongue in cheek humor?

Apparently so.

I responded to Dirge as being serious, and now that makes me look a fool. But I still see no reason to think that Richard Dawkins was not serious in his article. I think he was serious.

Dawkins should view this video and read the book before assuming Jesus existed.

It is fatuously pointless to tell us what you think Dawkins he should read and view. If you think he should view the video and read the book, you should tell him, not us.

I gave you a good answer the first time you asked me that question. You ignored me then, and I have no reason to think you'll pay any more attention now.

Just out of curiosity, can you point me to that?

Yes, you do seem to have made up your mind that there can't be any evidence. That would explain why you keep pretending that I never answered your question the first time you asked it.

That's the problem with fools. They take themselves too seriously.

I repeat, I have no reason to think you have any evidence since it is very likely that you would have, at least once more, given me that evidence just to show that you really do.
