It's obvious most people accept that Jesus existed as a real man which is why it's important for the mythers to speak up. Most people accept that God exists as well. A belief doesn't gain truth as it gains followers or scholars to defend it.

Yes, but sometimes the impression is made that the Christ Myth is gradually gaining acceptance among secular scholars. I'm looking for evidence for that. AFAIK, it is the opposite -- the Christ Myth had more support a hundred years ago, but has gradually been dying out. Certainly, the comments that I've seen from scholars suggest that it is considered to be on the pseudohistorical fringe -- not that this makes it wrong, of course.

Keep in mind, you've presented no evidence that the Christ myth had more strength in the past then it does today. That would be awfully hard to prove, and you haven't. And for what it's worth I am not one of the people who claim it is gaining more strength nor do I think Rook does, or for that matter, anyone on the RRS. You probably should take your argument to someone who's actually making the argument you're attacking. The idea of it gaining strength or losing strength isn't even something that's ever crossed my mind.

The main point is that from what I know, secular scholars overwhelmingly support the notion of a historical Christ as can be seen in the quotes I gave above. The Christ Myth appears to be the historicist equivalent to creationism. I'm wondering if there is evidence to the contrary.

Yeah here it is, feel free to make a website attacking it, as is general protocol for you:

Yes, I'm listening to your interview with Richard Carrier now. Thanks for that! Very interesting -- sounds like Richard will be the first to push this into peer-reviewed publication. I can't wait!

Can I get a specific reference of an Egyptologist or a bunch of Egyptologist dismissing the Jesus horus connection. I'm having porblems finding one that seems very credible.
