These psychically powered historicists demonstrate time and time again that they are hopelessly inept historians. The undeniable historical fact of the matter, passed over in their tenured diatribes against mythicists, is that national and state [Draconian] Blasphemy Laws violently suppressed the freedom of speech (and thus of course the written word) from the 4th century until the 19th century. Christian views were no longer taken for granted because they were no longer protected by Blasphemy laws which supported fascist action against dissenting views. The first political voice that expressed the view that Jesus did not exist could only have been raised when Christianity became political, that is, after Nicaea. And since Nicaea - until the 19th century - the evidence clearly demonstrates that such political dissent may have been silenced by torture, execution, exile and memoriae damnatio (imperial, church and legal censorship). I would like to see "Blogger Godfrey" and "Blogger Carr" take this issue up against this claim made by the likes of "Professional Historicist Casey" and "Professional Historicist Ehrman". People need to be educated to the real political history of the Mythicists' views and despite the historicists mantra of a 19th century appearance, this cannot be achieved without examining the history of "Blasphemy Laws" between the 4th and the 19th century.

FFS when are people going to wake up to the history of political reality? The history of mythicism and the history of blasphemy are directly related to one another. εὐδαιμονία | eudaimonia |
