CARTER
Unfortunately, you have yet to demonstrate which argument of mine are
"flaccid". 
The very nature of this list is that we can not discuss in depth the entire
historicity of the Biblical accounts, though we can skim the surface.

If I were as skeptical as some here, I would doubt whether Washington was
the first president, or that the Constitution was really written by the
founding fathers, or that Shakespeare really existed. I choose to not defy
commonsense on these matters.

Throwing out a bunch of "what if's" is not good argumentation.
 
Things like, "What if Jesus was really an alien, and that's how he rose
from the dead. Prove me wrong!", or "How do we not know that a secret
potion which can bring people back to life was not given to Jesus by a
witch?", or even "What if the nails on the cross were really rubber?" are
just about as ridiculous as the things that are asserted here.

It is amusing that while I am accused of begging the question, the only
argumentation you engage in is the same thing. Present EVIDENCE that the
disciples stole the body, or the Christ did not die, and maybe I will be
swayed. However, I think you'll find its pretty hard to accomplish such a
feat.
