        Sounds like a colossal reach at best, and pathetic cope at worst.

        You understand the colossal differences between multiple independent journalists researching and reporting on the same topic, and a large organized group of pseudointellectuals trying to disprove a single person based on vibes alone, right?

        You seem to be very desperately, and pathetically holding onto a form of fallacy of composition:

          No, I’m simply calling out a lazy gish gallop. It’s the same in both cases.

          How many sources are listed on the Wikipedia page for Christianity? If I accept your logic as valid, it seems I’ll have to convert.
