Ah. I'm "strutting for the lurkers". I see. Well, if that's your only counter-argument then feel free to stick with it. ~ Green Knight
Evidently I missed the part where you were actually making an argument. That is, unless you want to maintain that "well they were historians so they aren't blasphemers" is your argument. If so, then I will be happy to shred such prattle.

Doesn't blasphemy imply that when a person does it it's purposeful? Just looked up the definition and it says "contemptuous or irreverent speech about God". I don't think these historians are being contemptuous about God when they say what they say. Some of them undoubtedly are, I have no doubt. Plenty out there who'd like to somehow DISPROVE the Bible. But others are just trying to get the facts as clearly as possible. How does that make them blasphemers?
Seems there really IS no point in arguing this with you, though. If you want to make a mountain out of a molehill and keep labelling historians as blasphemers, be my guest. Who am I to stand in the way of a perfectly good auto-da-fe'?
