It’s a vital distinction in modern law, but it isn’t defined in any legal textbook or taught in any law school. It doesn’t need to be. If you’re a good person, you’ll understand and apply the distinction without being taught or told.

What is it? It’s the vital distinction between two categories of offense: a very serious category that we can call thought-crime, and a minor category that we can call flesh-crime.

See James O’Meara’s review of The Jesus Hoax here and David Skrbina’s reply here.

If there is a fact that cannot fail to impress all persons who seriously study the history of Christianity, it is the almost complete absence of documents regarding the man whose name the great international religion bears, namely Jesus Christ. (more…)
