I agree completely and you make an important observation that I had not completely considered.
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

That was lovely. Sniff.
"The historical method can only tell us what probably or most likely happened in the past. Since miracles are, by definition, improbable, if not in fact impossible, they are methodologically outside the bounds of historical inquiry.

History, then, as a disciple, cannot tell us if Jesus was divine or worked miracles any more than it can for Alexander the Great or Caesar Augustus[...]Any supernatural claim about Jesus can only be accepted as a matter of faith. Again, this is the domain of theology rather than history."

"some carpenter had to suffer an excruciating death"

Aren't carpenters considered expendable on construction sites? When I was an ironworker sixty years ago we thought so. Has OSHA changed that?

Religious arguments based on trying to overturn science are not only futile but as you point out, they do nothing more than display the extreme ignorance of people who make them.

DI,

I was truly impressed by this post of yours. In fact, flabbergasted. You have stunned me, sir.
It is my agenda to convince every atheist/agnostic of Lucretius' Hallucination Theory...NOT the resurrection.
