Michael,

Telamon does come across as reasonable sometimes, and
I forgot about his more comical Birchite tendencies. Had
I remembered, I wouldn't have prodded him.

As for the Jesus thing, it was Steve who denied he
existed. I don't doubt it at all. I just didn't think
any of the sources you cited constituted actual
disinterested third party evidence. Even the
synoptic gospels are generally assumed to be second-hand
as far as I know. I don't think the absence of independent
corroboration weighs in too heavily against his having
existed, since there was probably a lot of similar ferment
going on in Judea at the time that we don't have any record
of.

I will give you some push-back on the whole Messiah issue,
though

Oz

Oh, I get it. Walsh and Cohen and Sorensen, who seem pretty
darn rich among the three of them, at least as far as I can
tell, are not the real guys behind the network. It's really
the money men of Comintern who have gone into deep cover somewhere
since the collapse of the Soviet Union and are just biding
their time till they can take over and, uh, pollute our
vital essences. Now do I have it right?


Yep, Oz, you got a pretty good vision of Telamon's world. And thanks for
keeping the repeat of his posts to a minimum - I'm trying to keep him blocked!
;-)

And why is it so hard to get a Jew to even admit that Jesus once lived?
