Anyway, I was going to give an outline of the following paper, but since I can't find the outline I'm just going to quote the paper's URL and let people read it. Deals with 17 issues Christianity had to overcome if it were to succeed as a religion, either by being true or some other means. http://www.tektonics.org/lp/nowayjose.html Be sure to check out the bottom before complaining about Islam or Mormonism meeting the guidelines.

It's nothing new.

Oh shit... Religion is wrong? ... wow...

[quote]Really? There are others who have dealt with the social factors? Do tell.[/quote] I was referring to the link.

Like I said... some of the new content of the argument is the social factors that would have made it harder. To my knowledge, the argument hasn't been made in that structure before Holding.

I found an outline, so I'm just going to bump this right up and tell people to refer to the link for more detail: Point 1 -- Who Would Buy One Crucified? Point 2 -- Neither Here Nor There: Or, A Man from Galilee?? Point 3 -- The Wrong Resurrection Point 4 -- What's New? What's Not Good Point 5 - Don't Demand Behavior Point 6 -- Tolerance is a Virtue Point 7-- Stepping Into History Point 8 -- Do Martyrs Matter, and More Point 9 -- Human vs. Divine Point 10 -- No Class Point 11 - Don't Rely on Women! Point 12 - And Don't Trust Bumpkins, Either! Point 13 - You Can't Keep a Secret! Point 14 -- An Ignorant Deity? Point 15 --- Prophet Without Honor

Sage goes in every field. EVERY. FIELD.

Sure it does. And I'm betting you're willing to show that with actual scholarly data?

[quote]And the scholars that say this are...?[/quote] Google it, genius.

I provide a link and the best you can come up with is "look it up yourself"? Not taking this very seriously, are you?
