gotcha?  lol

PP, you are a hot mess.  There are many primary sources - as in firsthand accounts - dating back to antiquity that are more ACCURATE than the gospels.  Furthermore, the gospels are NOT firsthand accounts. They are stories - starting with Mark - on the story of Jesus - with the clear intent of indoctrinating the masses.  Matthew, Luke and John copied Mark's version and added their own spin to these so-called accounts.  So the gospel is really ONE person's version.

And even IF someone doesn't believe in miracles, s/he would have recorded them, as these "miracles" are anomalies, yes? So if I don't believe in UFOs but I see some odd flying object in the sky, do you honestly think I'd keep it to myself?  lol

You eventually saw the towers fall, yes?  You've seen the Dec of Ind, right?  You've seen footage of the towers from national and international news sources, right?  And you've clearly read primary accounts of the Revolutionary War in your history classes.

and with regard to the non-Christian accounts of Jesus? There is still no proof that there was ONE Jesus.

I'm done.  If you can't be bothered with other sources, then live in your La La Land and wave to me down below as I burn in hell.

What a hypocrite you are.

You're applying opposite standards to the gospels vs. the Greek and Roman sources you venerate. Did you say primary sources from the Greeks and Romans? Bwahahaha! Don't you realize that many of these were written for rulers/emperors who dictated the contents, and there were no Pinocchio columns in the Post to keep the authors honest? Heck, even Shakespeare probably warped the story of Richard III because Shakespeare was writing under Elizabeth I (although it turns out Richard was a hunchback at least).  At least the gospels weren't written for any ruling power, which actually argues in their favor. And do you really have no clue that documents and any footage, like that of the falling towers, can be faked?  Really, you had no clue?

And don't get me started on whether we should trust *you* to weigh in on the accuracy of *anything*, including the color scheme of this website, let alone the accuracy of the gospels or classical authors. Why should we listen to somebody who thinks John came from the same authorial tradition as Matthew, Mark and Luke (hello, Q version) when practically every real scholar out there disagrees with you.

Hypocrite. Or maybe you're just not very intelligent. But then we shouldn't expect anything more intelligent from a pot-stirring jerk who calls others a "hot mess", rambles on about "La La Land", confuses being a "primary source" with being "accurate," and thinks that John is just like the other gospels.

Yikes.

Glad you're "done here," you won't be missed.[/quote]
