Revision as of 16:41, 20 December 2009
I occasional go through and clean out the talk page of old comments that are out of date. Those looking for archives are invited to refer to the history.
Jesus Myth comments
The biggest problem for the whole Historical Jesus position is supporters like Lee Strobel and Josh McDowell who try to prove every point of the Gospels as historical fact and wind up reducing the whole Historical Jesus position to self-characture. It is like the old joke with friends like these you don't need any enemies; their efforts to show that Jesus not only existed but was everything the Gospels claim actually happened just tarnishes the whole Historical Jesus position. It certainly doesn't help matters then who are supposed to be scholars make claims that can easily be disproved, quote broad statements by authors whose works were written half a century ago, or make overly broad comments in a book that they themselves are editing.
You can look for 'creationism' in antrosource and get several promising hits on the first page alone while a search for 'Jesus historical' gets you "There is not a shred of evidence that a historical character Jesus lived, to give an example, and Christianity is based on narrative fiction of high literary and cathartic quality. On the other hand Christianity is concerned with the narration of things that actually take place in human life." (abstract) "It is not possible to compare the above with what we have, namely, that there is not a shred of evidence that a historical character Jesus lived."(body text) Fischer, Roland (1994) "On The Story-Telling Imperative That We Have In Mind" Anthropology of Consciousness. Dec 1994, Vol. 5, No. 4: 16 and then things like the possible useful though tangential and annoyingly unabstracted "On the Reliability of Oral and Traditional History" by Clifton Amsbury from 1995 and "More on the Reliability of Oral and Traditional History" by Ernest S. Burch, Jr. from 1996 and then some really strange articles that make you wonder how they come up in the search. Using 'Jesus Myth' gets the maybe of "Myth and History: A General Model and Its Application to the Bible" by Karin R. Andriolo from 1981 but nothing on the level the 'creationism' search produces. One gets less the impression of a scholarly consensus and more of 'don't want to touch this thing with a 10 foot pole'.
A related problem is trying to say Jesus myth hypothesis is also called the "nonhistoricity hypothesis", "Christ-myth theory", "Christ-myth", or "Jesus-myth" creates enormous problems when you find scholars who clearly are using different definitions.

edit warring on Christ myth theory
Your recent editing history at Christ myth theory shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
