A. Evidence plz. If there are Jewish terrorists as bad as Muslim ones, how come we don't see Jewish kids on Internet videos with weapons and doing crazy propaganda like we do Palestinians?
Irony rears its head
Only if he gives me a news article about 5-year-old Jewish terrorist kids and I reject it as merely secondhand (therefore worthless) evidence.
Wrong, he gave you second hand evidence and you refused to accept it, because it wasn't enough ,same thing i'm asking of you, your so called evidence is nothing at all and when I ask for more you say it is unreasonable
Wrong -- I'm concerned about the impartiality of him and his source, and also am concerned that the passage in question is not plausible given known facts.  Unless you have similar concerns about the Roman historians and reports?
I have concerns about the accuracy of their writings, not about impartiality, but rather whether what they wrote was accurate or not, but like you I need something to substantiate
Okay, but if the author is impartial, and known to be a fairly good historian, and the report is completely consistent with known facts, then why doubt its accuracy?
What known facts?  You haven't shown any facts, just writings, and said that there were oral stories, whose to say that he wasn't going off these oral stories and as such his sources may or may not have been wrong, not to mention he wrote almost 2000 years ago, hence why would I accept it at face value, unless something exists to support it

... facepalm

No, I mean the facts like the start of Christianity, and what we KNOW about the earliest part of its existence.  Even if it doesn't PROVE anything about Jesus it's all CONSISTENT with the possibility that he did in fact exist.  Or if not, what part of history is incompatible with Jesus existing?  That would be a quick way for you to win this debate.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
