Why are you trying to interpret what you think I said? you have nothing better to do?
I'm attacking your argument and if you think it's a strawman you can demonstrate that. What's the point of framing and doing meta commentary?
This is an open forum, isn't it? Why do you ask stupid question?
Good job attacking the argument, since it's obvious you have no idea what I said. I think you almost reached a level of coherency resembling a toddler.
Ok, since you're much smarter and better debater than me, why don't you tell me how is your argument any different instead of doing meta and ad homs?
Here, I'll interpret my argument for you so you can see it's not a strawman: My critique was that having no contemporary records of something in history doesn't necessarily mean that it didn't happen. Are you aware most historical accounts are written many years after the subject they record? If that were the criteria, most of history's events and figures would be questionable. But people like yourself obviously don't extend that level of skepticism in every case but save it mostly for Jesus Christ. This is a double standard. Your argument is fallacious, sir.
Also, do we have to mention we have roman historians like Josephus and Tacitus who wrote a few decades after Christ and attest to his existence? I'm sure you know about this but since it was 30 years later I guess he couldn't have known a guy like this existed during Pontius Pilate and Herod's rule, that he claimed he was king of the jews and was crucified. Some passages of Paul's epistles like 1 Corinthians 15 are dated to be written in the 30's so within years of Christ's Resurrection. There's a reason why all serious historians (many of which aren't at all Christian btw) accept Jesus' existence.
