Many opinion but few verified independent facts.

--
Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly
before you run into me.

I don't think you're understanding what you're actually saying...

there are things
that happen
in the past..
they are 'events'.

The events
as they happen
are the evidence.

They are historical events
that happen a certain way.

They are the recollections
of people who existed 
as they remember them.

Are you saying everyone is talking about a person who never existed????

We only point out the obvious problems with Josephus when they offer
it as proof/evidence/etc (which we only ask for in a "put up or shut
up" vein).

They offer it as "evidence" without even thinking about it, and when
the problems are pointed out, they go on the attack instead of
addressing them.

The conclusions are obvious.

No, that is not evidence.  It is easy to make up 'events'.

If they happened of course they happened 'in a certain way'.

Fine.  Where are these accounts?  Are they found in different places?
Are they written by different people?  Do they agree with the details?

IOW, are they independent of each other?


>
>Are you saying everyone is talking about a person who never existed????

Quite possibly.  There is no evidence to the contrary.

Many people by that name probably existed but the exact person
described?  No supporting evidence.

Are there many people or even one in the bible with the same name as
someone else?



You're talking about an era, a community with one zip code.

One yellow page.

One phone booth.

A place where every one goes to one person house to watch TV.


If you need a carpenter, ...who do you call?

Who cares?  In the real world there are and always have been many
people who have the same name.

One the several that worked in every community.  

Just what do you think the population of the world was at that time? A
dozen or so?  Do you really think one person in ANY occupation could
have satisfied the demand for his or her services?

Pity the poor hooker.  She would never get any sleep.

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly
before you run into me.

250,000 World population number during the time of Jesus Christ...
divide that number into countries.....there weren't that many people
hanging out at the corner drug store.

Hookers *sleep* with people for a living...they gets lots of sleep!

They lay down for a living...

Haven't you been with a hooker before? You pay her to sleep with you...




Maybe the hookers you been with only sleep for 3 seconds...



But if you want to know how many hookers there were during Jesus Christ time...
since most hookers were Jewish girls...I would say...thousands!

Pointing out something that is obvious is hardly bringing something
up.  I was simply stopping an invalid point before it started.

Enough to have more than one person in any particular profession,
especially if it was one that was widely needed.

Actually I have not found it necessary - there have been enough

I understand that in the Italian Mafia there are a lot of guys named..Paulie,

but how many "Mary" and "Joseph" are in the bible??


How many guys named Jesus Christ were there???



This planet has 6 billion people. How many guys named Greg Goss are there?



There are 6 billion people today on this planet...honestly, how many people you
know with the same name as someone else?


Now, if you ask me...I don't know any girls named Mary, and maybe one guy named Joesph...

I used to know a girl named Mary, but that was years and years ago. I haven't met another Mary since.


What is your sister's name?

If that were true, the steady growth of Christianity for 2000 years would have
erupted in war over those that tried to change what Jesus said and did.

Nonsense.  For most of that time there was one single organization
that had total control over the entire subject and could make whatever
changes it desired.

It even decided what was included in it's mythology and what was not.
Making everything fit was an obvious goal.

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly
before you run into me.
