She knows the truth but won't share it

• Richard Evans Lee , • The Da Vinci Code

The nutty Christian woman who claims the canonical Protestant Bible is 99.8% true as opposed to the authorial entity called Homer who is only 95.8% factual - (Is there an archeologist in the house?) - continues with her demented postings.

Unsurprisingly she claims to have evidence but not the time to provide it. Merely time to leave weird comments.

Is she a hoaxster? My mix of queerness and hard atheism has brought me some odd responses but none as entertaining as this. I do hope she really means everything she has typed in Gay marriage: why fundamentalists hate it

Maybe she has deciphered the Da Vince Code.

I am no archeologist, just a historian of religion, but I can easily answer that one. To calculate how accurate the Bible (or Homer, for that matter) is compared to the original mss, we would need to have the original documents. We don't. To estimate corruption per century or whatever, we can always look at intervals that are known and extrapolate. That is what you call a qualified guess. It is certainly nothing you can put a percentage on, and much less a decimal point.

Her decimal point makes me wonder if her posts haven't been put-ons. But anyone who has met a conspiracy theorist know that some folks just can't discern evidentiary weight much less between evidence and speculation. There are so many unknowns in the history of societies that left a fair amount of surviving paper, say, 17th century England it is hard to see early Christian history as anything but invention. A pity. I don't care much about its actual beginning but wish more were really known about Christianity's early propagation.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about She knows the truth but won't share it. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
