to your "scholarly attitude" comments.
Do you really expect me to quote some fanatic's cooked up figures as historical facts?
Let's forget about the attitude thing. It was meant to be a joke.
On a separate matter, you could certainly have quoted the "facts" and then prove it false. This is actually the easier way for you to discredit Christian historians and therefore win me (and others) over. You know what, no one is going to tie your hands up for doing that. This is the beauty of living in an open and free Christian society, isn't it?
