Quanty, where did you get that text from, in the post above?

And Quanty, if there's no grrreg at the end of that link that I originally provided, what on earth is this all about?

I'd be fascinated to hear your explanation.

I've read it.

Here's my review:

By Amazon Customer "grrreg"

"An oxymoron written by a nice person"

"Conservative values and institutions are what revolutions occur to change. The idea that you can have a revolution to institute conservative thinking and approaches is wrong-headed, shows a possible deliberate disregard for the truth, and is by dictionary definition an oxymoron. And by his words, Cory Bernardi shows he is a simple nice person and undeserving of holding any position of power, elected, appointed or employed."

I work for the Australian Government, and my reading habits have changed quite a bit in recent times. This is because my work has become more demanding, so I want my reading to be less demanding.

As such, I'm mostly reading genre fiction - principally the Doctor Who series (as it was my favourite TV show as a child) and Sherlock Holmes books (which I started reading as a teenager).

I'm currently submitting reviews of books I am reading (some of which have been sitting on my shelf for a few years!) and going back over all the Doctor Who books, both adaptations and original novels.

By the way, I have found the Amazon Auctions area excellent for finding out-of-print Doctor Who books, and would heartily recommend the services of Third Zone (who use the name 'supremedalek' in auctions) who have given me excellent service.

You didn't provide a link.

Did you make that up yourself?

At last!

I knew you could do it.

Now all we need to do is figure out why you think grrreg is me.

Over to you, Jazza ...

I've read it.

Sock accusations now? Is that the best you got to deflect from the fact you have no bloody idea what you are talking about? 

Greggery was the one who threw the baby out with the bathwater right at the start. He made the claim Jesus never existed. Yet all mainstream historians accept that the Jesus of the Bible was a real person, the only dispute is whether he did all the things the Bible says he did. Maybe if you took the time to read a bit of history you wouldn't have been so fast to jump on such an idiotic position as to say Jesus never existed.

This thread has shown that a few people are all talk and no knowledge. You, Spot, pecca, have all been so fast to mock others about historical issues that none of you realised just how much ignorance you were all displaying. Idiotic comments about there not being enough records or those that we do have being dated after the event are ignorant to the extreme. Your belief in Roman record keeping is itself apart of the very historical record that you mock when it is convenient. All people such as Alexander the Great, Alfred the Great, Galileo, Darwin, and any other name from history not only all have myth around them, but also have very few records of their existence from their own time. Even World War Two was not written about in any meaningful until after the war was finished. In fact the best works are being written this century as emotions cool and the missing pieces come to light. But I can just imagine people like you 1000 years from now saying "World War Two never happened. The history books you quote from were written years after the fact. We can't really know anything about that time. There was no Hitler!" An outrageous statement to anyone today, but no more different than the ignorance people like you display towards the events and people of the past.

If we are to dispute the myths then by your reasoning we must also dispute the existence of the very person. If the records we have post date the person then they to must be discarded. Anything else would be a total inconsistency and would turn history into nothing but personal belief without any framework. I think you would be shocked at just how few people from history measure up to your standards of proof if you took the same position with them that you are taking with Jesus.
