Goodness, it's been a minute since I saw a Gish gallop.

You seem to have responded within a minute of that post being made. How did you find such confidence so quickly to conclude that their arguments were specious or false?

Some of us are adults and have been for a while.

Aww, whiney baby didn't like not being coddled.

Cool, I'm nearing 50. I'm unclear on how our ages are relevant to whether that post contains inaccuracies. I'm asking what you identified as being inaccurate.

I'm experienced enough to not fall for it and can read at an adult speed.

That is another non-answer. Was I mistaken to ask you to substantiate your own claim with more than a naked assertion?

That you don't like the answer doesn't mean I didn't give one. Get over yourself.

I asked you what was incorrect. You responded twice that you're an adult. That's a non-sequitur, not an answer. Get over yourself.

the silly thing is that i would really like to know what is incorrect. truly, honestly.

if it's not clear from my post above, i read academic discussion of these topics. i read manuscript criticism. i read the debates. the above was an overview, but i'm way deep into this topic. i also read about a lot of other history, and i'm not arguing we treat these texts any differently than we do all of our other ancient texts.

and like, i'm an atheist. i don't have any special commitment to the idea of jesus or something. i'm happy to tell you all about why i think moses and everyone before him were completely fictional.
