Rational Response Squad

Some time ago I happened upon an essay by an Athiest named Rook Hawkins entitled :

A Silence That Screams

This essay by the then 24 year old struck me as something that should be easily refuted and yet try as I might I couldn't do it. I took the essay to a Christian Podcast Forum and posted it there and not one of them could do it either.

Oh they tried, but not one of the bible thumpers could even hold to the secular premise let alone accept that the facts were there and quite simply accurate. The entire matter quickly earned me a suspension for daring to bring the essay to the forum and they were absolutely incensed by the fact I was not convinced that they hadn't beaten this "kid" as they called the author.

I could only laugh at the stupidity and shear ignorance of those who through their own frustration proved the author correct and that their position and fundamentalist and evangelical religious ideology completely and utterly without foundation.

Go ahead give it a try and remember that Josephus didn't write anything about the Jesus of the New Testament, those two entires are confirmed to be forgeries and inserted many years later by Christians and those entries are credited with saving Josephus's written work, so some good did come from the forgeries after all.

Good luck....
