He asked for outside sources... The Voice of Lews Therin - 17/04/2004 08:17:03 PM

I simply referred him to some kick ass sources and left it at that.
I guess my problem was that I didn't find them as kick ass as you did.

In fact, if anyone is being misleading here--it's you. You attempted a quickie analysis in a field I frankly don't think you are qualified to make any sort of authoritative pronouncement whatsoever.
Really? That's interesting. When I read the original post, I got the impression he was asking for contemporary accounts, a fact he confirmed in his response. You gave him, without providing any context, a string of references, many of which said nothing about Jesus but rather just mentioned Christianity as a religion in passing. How is that not misleading?

As for whether I can make authoritative pronouncements, I feel fully confident that, given I own copies of most of the sources you cited, I can make a pronouncement about whether or not citing the sources in response to the question asked is misleading or not.
