Spidey Fallacy Two Debunks

This Terrible Atheist Meme About the Gospels Must Stop

My own:


There is more to the answer than that.

When two friends of mine (well, at least one's a friend) visited NYC, I asked them to take a photo of the Daily Bugle building.

For some reason, they didn't.

Almost seems as if Daily Bugle were a made up institution ...

Meanwhile, Gospels and Acts (etc) mention the Church. Seems to have been documented in other resources too, including Josephus calling them a "tribe" ...

Real stories don't leave just imaginary institutions.

Fake stories either do that or add some bends and flourishes on existing ones. D.D.T. = Direction départementale des Territoires exists. But it never had one Edmond Fouvreaux. (Yes, I'm a fan of Signé Furax). Baker Street preexisted certain stories, but Conan Doyle invented 221B (it later became a real adress).

Fake origin stories don't explain real institutions.
