I decided to allow the thread that will be titled "The Historical Case for Jesus". It will be in the "Expanding Awareness" forum.It has been split to avoid comments about the value of religion to get mixed up with ideas of whether Jesus existed or not, or whether things happened the way we've been taught they were not.
I will post a link to the new thread, with a warning:
This thread is going to be informative, and not a platform for arguments of belief or conviction. No one, not even me, will be allowed to make any comments that are personal about the poster, including their profession or lack of it.
So if you disagree about a source, you argue about a source, not about the person writing the post, regardless of your personal feelings about that person.
This is not debatable.
I will delete posts that are about another person, and I will ban whoever continues to include comment about the other person.

Here is the new thread for those who wish to read or participate:
