A Curious Quirk of the Recent Atheist Fad…

…is the odd way in which so many of the more vociferous New Atheists have gone in for Jesus Trutherism and have vocally denied what no serious historian denies: that Jesus existed. It is a measure of the odd gullibility that faithlessness engenders that so many atheists charge headlong into confident expostulations about the non-existence of Jesus of Nazareth, which are precisely as sound a claim as denials that the Holocaust occurred.

The funny thing is, it’s so unnecessary. Atheists got by for years acknowledging the fact of Jesus’ existence. But, as is their custom, the New Atheists constantly give away their lack of confidence in their own case by continually padding it with extra junk. As the lawyers say, when you don’t have a case, pound the table.
