Neil Godfrey, in a post entitled \u201cHypocritical Christ-mythers: <\/a><\/p>\n

Cameron\u2019s response to Neil Godfrey at Vridar \u2014 & my response\u00a0back\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

It is stuff like this<\/a> that has forced me to give up on attempting to interact with Neil Godfrey<\/a> as though he were a sane\/honest individual who knows how to interact with other human beings. Those who have actually read the exchange he is referring to<\/a>, however, may enjoy reflecting on the vast differences between what actually transpired<\/a>, and Godfrey\u2019s representation of it on his own blog.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
