Rationalists would presumably not see the need for an entire course devoted to showing that a supernatural event did not happen.

This course is about arguing against Christian apologists in any case, and the mythicist argument may come up.

Right. So why offer one to them?

There ya go. See how far a little honesty will take you? So, give the course an honest name, something like, "Tactics for the anti-Christian Right."

For the same reason CFI's sister organization debunks UFO sightings and such.

I don't see how that is honest. Price is not a Christian, but is not anti-Christian. He tends to be politically right wing on some issues, but that does not define the course.

In his article, "With Friends Like These...? Jews and their Christian Right Allies," Price urges Jews to accept the friendship of the Christian Right. He writes:

It would be tragic for Jews, increasingly bereft of allies, to spurn their offers of aid and friendship and so repeat the mistake of Zerubbabel who rebuffed the offers of well-wishers to help rebuild the temple and replaced good will with lasting enmity (Ezra 4:1-6).

In advocating an alliance between Jews and Christian Rightists, Price is telling Jews that they should ally with those who have an essentially anti-Jewish perspective on Christ. This puts Price not just on the anti-Christian Right, but on the anti-Jewish Right.

NR - the more you throw around words like "anti-Jewish" and "anti-Christian" as if they were confetti, the less meaning they will have.

I'm going to bow out of this pointless exchange. Merry Christmas.

Thanks, bro. You, too.

If I have given offense, I hope it is in order to sow new understanding, at least on my own part. If I have received offense, I hope to forget it.
