You know to be honest I've not really bothered to spend any time looking into the evidence that plato existed. Then again, nobody ever told me that I need to close my eyes and telepathically send love-letters to Plato.
Now now, you're strawmaning again. We're tackling your denial of Jesus as a historical figure, not as God or as the messiah.
Do you have anything mentioning Jesus that predates 94 AD or not? Because 60 fuckin years is a long time.
It's not. It's within the lifespan of one generation. It's like saying you can't have knowledge of things that happened in the 60's by talking to your parents or grandparents about it. To put it in perspective, people still have stories about WWII.
If all these stories suddenly started emerging today about some magical dude in 1964 who was totally a real person, I'm sure we'd all be quite skeptical about it.
Lol, that's the worst bad faith argument I've heard. That would be the case IF we pretended the world in 1964 was the same world as 33AD and if that hypothetical applied for everything else we know about the 60's (stories about other popular people of the 60's popping out of nowhere).
We don't know whether there weren't more documents available to Tacitus and the others that were lost. This is highly likely but regardless they had knowledge and certainty of the events they were writing on.
Yeah, but we also have a TON of shit documenting WW2 as it actually happened. This is known as "contemporary" evidence.
Another magic dividing line in history again?
Are you serious? Those two contradict each other. You acknowledge there's difference in technology, media and society now and 2000 years ago and in the next sentence you deny it?
You are right. If every country behaved as Palestinians do, much of the world would be in ruins as gaza is now.
It's the jews who are slaughtering civilians as we speak. They've been doing this for decades. Have some humility and sympathy, you being atheist doesn't mean you don't have a soul or a conscience. You're made in God's image.
