That their is firsthand testimony to an event does not make
it true. The BoM must be judged on more than the testimony
of the 3 & 8 witnesses.

I'm going to hang this one on my wall. So the "firsthand"
testimony of the gospel-writers does not make the
event true?

Matthew Bell
Of course not. No event is true just because it is claimed, disregardless
of how many people claim it, or believe in that claim.

POOBAH
Good. I hope you chastise all of your apologist friends that claim that the
Gospels or Paul's claim of 500 "proves" the resurrection. We hear that all
the time.

POOBAH (past)
On what should we judge the claims of the  BoM & the Bible, pray tell?

Matthew Bell
On their merits or demerits.

POOBAH
That's brilliant, that is (Weave, duck, dodge, parry...) And those would
be...?
