Hello Joseph, thanks for responding.

You said:

"Thanks for saying the obvious IF one chooses to actually examine the historical record. I doubt you are going to get a response from the author."

I already responded to Gary, but I wanted to respond to this, as well.

My friend, I appeal to the historical record to support my points in this article, as well as the others I've linked to.

The historical record is not my enemy! It is Christianity's greatest ally.
