I have yet to reference that I think the Bible is fact. (assumption #1)
The three centuries of scholars I mentioned, the majority of them were/are atheists. (assumption #2)
And you claim I'm all over the place.... sheesh.

Hmm, I don't see a real response, so im assuming you are retreating from the argument again! Not such a shining record for a paladin of Jesus vs a godless monster.
At least Greazzer clearly believes in his God and that belief shines through his comments. You seem to believe more in being seen to be right about your god, or id imagine you'd try a little harder clarifying yourself instead of your attack strategy, which is amusing, but not really effective.
I guess the difference is you are a missionary for people who already believe in god and christ as a god, but are doctrinally wrong in some niggling little way, so you get to tell them how wrong they are based on this or that scripture.
Its a bit harder discussing this with a completely different type of worldview.
Always easier to preach to the converted. It my friend and I both like a chicken sandwich, but we disagree on toppings, we are still united in our basic love. Harder debate when I like my chicken and hes a big fan of roast beef.

I think I'm almost useless in this type of debate as you don't want a dialogue, you want a monologue.
I wish I would've followed my own hunch and stopped talking to you awhile ago. Your lack of knowledge in the areas of ancient culture, theology, textual transmission and textual criticism are only replaced by a bunch of pseudo facts strung together with some really really bad logic.
