Re: Why don't mythicists condemn Satanism?

My Bayesian Theorem probability in the (a)Historicity that @"John T" has a "Bayesian Theorem probability of Satan is 123.4%" with the correct application of valid historical evidence and no reliance on invalid historical evidence is ~33.3 for historicity and ~66.6% for ahistoric...

Re: Why don't mythicists condemn Satanism?

I have already dealt with Carrier's subjective misapplication of Bayes's theorem on this forum years ago. You can try to get me to go on your fool's errand but as I said before, been there done that. :tombstone: Using the method applied by Carrier, the Bayesian Theorem probability of Satan is 123.4...

Re: Why don't mythicists condemn Satanism?

So what is the valid historical evidence you adduced and/or that was applied? Your refusal to answer the original question is duly noted. I have already dealt with Carrier's subjective misapplication of Bayes's theorem on this forum years ago. You can try to get me to go on your fool's errand but a...

Re: Why don't mythicists condemn Satanism?

Mythicists are quick to demonstrate their condemnation for Christianity but for Satanism, not so much. What’s up with that? :scratch: You should first present your (a)historicity probabilities per all the valid historical evidence for a minimal historicity Satan and a minimal ahistoricity Satan. Cf...

Why don't mythicists condemn Satanism?

Why don’t mythicists condemn Satanism? A considerable amount of time is wasted on this forum by atheists and/or mythicists trying to disprove the historicity of Jesus. Seems to me they are going about it all wrong. Wouldn’t it be easier to discredit the tenants of Christianity by pointing out that S...

Re: Resource for Mythicist and Response Documentation

Yeah, and end game where nothing bad has happened to Christians. But I'm definitely the anti-Christian here. Don't forget it was you that challenged me on the other thread to expose your real motive and end game. I warned you that I was not like Ehrman and I don't mind giving a tit for tat. The onl...

Re: Resource for Mythicist and Response Documentation

Again, co-opting Jewish oppression for Christians, even though... no one here is proposing any violence against Christians... or Republicans. My solution is to try and convince them they are wrong, or at least overwhelm them politically so that their position loses viability. I have no desire to st...

Re: Resource for Mythicist and Response Documentation

Yeah it isn't ageist to note that eminent older scholars become complacent... especially when I can demonstrate where they do. Ehrman doesn't cite anything but English language texts... that alone is evidence of his complacency. Let alone that he cannot cite even those texts carefully, if he bother...

Re: Resource for Mythicist and Response Documentation

Yeah, I used ad homs on you because you've been nothing but a bully to everyone here, and you have done nothing to make me think you are anything other than disingenuous, dishonest, and a troll. And I don't recall ad homming Ehrman. I criticized him for becoming a complacent old white scholar, who ...

Re: Resource for Mythicist and Response Documentation

Sure, if that is the excuse you want to make for your recent ugly behavior and ad honimem attacks against Ehrman and me. It comes with the territory. Doesn't make it right but we expect it from both sides. However, unlike Ehrman, I don't mind giving a tit for tat. So, try to keep that in mind, I'm n...
