Dr. Bock, please be aware, if you are not, that most of the responses and questions you are recieving on this topic are from atheist moderators (eg. Toto) and atheist participants and supporters (eg. Steven Carr) of a website called Internet Infidels.

I, personally, do not believe that they are looking for "truth" but only to destroy Christianity by any possible means (which I believe includes lies and deceptions, or at the least to obscure a historical Jesus in any way possible in order to sow doubt in the gullible and unlearned). Why do I make this allegation? Because I have been personally told by Toto and other moderators and supporters of that website that their goal and the goal of their website (specifically, I have been told by more than one that the goal is to "destroy" Christianity).

Whatever points you have will be dismissed by them consistently. There will be no rational "give-and-take" sort of discussion with them. Their goal is to find something wrong, so whatever points you make will simply be dismissed.

I just want to make sure you are aware that these are people who are blinded by their own beliefs and what you say will mostly be wasted on them. They don't want to believe anything you say. I wouldn't say anything if these were just "truth seekers" and real "free thinkers", but they are neither.
