    “Benjii, Professor Dembski already banned you once. I didn’t agree at the time that you deserved it but I may have been wrong.”

    Are you going to ban me just because I disagree with your position? You did the same thing to Josh. That’s unfair. Bill didn’t do that to me. All you’re doing is just banning people because they question your beliefs. It’s a free country. The advantage you have is defense, and more power to it if you can. Remember, DaveScot, you were almost kicked out as well from this blog. Keep in mind that Dr. Dembski gave you this priveledge. Nobody else! You shouldn’t domineer over people who disagree with you. If you want to kick me out, fine! I’d rather be on a blog where there is freedom of thought and expression, not on a Stalinist one.

    Your wish is my command. I hope you find a blog more suited to you. -ds

    That’s a weird reason to kick someone out. With all due respect Dave, that doesn’t seem very tolerant of you to do that. As a friend, I would tell you to be more respectful to people who disagree with you.

    I think this is an interesting discussion.
    Here is a good resource for one side of the debate as to the existence of a person called Jesus Christ.
    http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/

    {{” The archetypal Jewish hero was Joshua (the successor of Moses) otherwise known as Yeshua ben Nun (‘Jesus of the fish’). Since the name Jesus (Yeshua or Yeshu in Hebrew, Ioshu in Greek, source of the English spelling) originally was a title (meaning ‘saviour’, derived from ‘Yahweh Saves’) probably every band in the Jewish resistance had its own hero figure sporting this moniker, among others.”}}

    If this is right, then Jesus Christ tanslates as Savior the Messiah.

    “There is not a single contemporary historical mention of Jesus, not by Romans or by Jews, not by believers or by unbelievers, during his entire lifetime.
    This does not disprove his existence, but it certainly casts great doubt on the historicity of a man who was supposedly widely known to have made a great impact on the world. Someone should have noticed.”
    – Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (1992, p. 360).

    If there’s anything constructive forthcoming from bickering over whether Christ was a real person or not I can’t identify it.
