Jesus Christ - Son of God or a Madman

"Jesus IS the Son of God, or he WAS a madman."

So said CS Lewis, a reasonable Brit.

I am a product of the Bible Belt. I am not reasonable. I am sick of guys in backward collars making a living saying Christ was a social philosopher they can sell at the Country Club.

Screw philosophy.

At the verry least Jesus Christ was a "mere" man who DEMANDED the unimaginable agony of the cross.

Or He IS the Son of God.

The well-paid backwards collar type tries to make a reasonable compromise of Him.

Tomorrow I celebrate the birth of Jesus, who did not compromise.

Wow. That's some pretty blatant quote mining.

Among biblical historians and scholars
Found your problem. If you would bother actually reading the article, you'd see that the hypothesis has a long list of notable supporters and a long list of arguments going for it. It seems pretty obvious to me that "biblical historians and scholars", more commonly known as Christian apologists, would not just reject it completely without critical thought, but actively spread FUD about it. Indeed, the ONLY criticisms of it are from Christian apologists making claims they cannot support.

If you're so sure of yourself, why don't you go try and convince some historians or archeologists?  Someone who's opinion matters.
Let's see, ad hominem, appeal to authority, and some other fallacy I can't recall the name of.

I don't have the time, and I don't really care enough to have this conversation.
Same deal. You cared enough to make that post, if not others. If you want to back down now, that's one thing, but don't act like you haven't lost.
