When you say "best and earliest documentary evidence" you are suggesting a comparison, but there are no other documents. The repeating of this meaningless claim would qualify as propaganda.
Your assertion is only true if you ignore the documentary evidence contained in the New Testament. Say what you please -- I and all evangelical Christians recognize the New Testament as real history. This recognition is based on a strict examination of the literary evidence. It is absolutely gelastic of Bible critics to dismiss the New Testament as a faithful source of real history. If that's the only basis of your propaganda charge, you're floating on air.

maybe cause the crusades were hilarious? you know no violence in the christian religion yet we are gonna go slaughter millions 😄
While this might be slightly off point, let me affirm the unjustifiable abomination called "the crusades". It is sickening to most contemporary Christians how some in history have abused our religion.

I love how you say "some" impling that this phenomenon is not an ever-present paradigm.

And let me introduce you to the Protestant Reformation. I am a conservative evangelical PROTESTANT. I have no Pope.

Regarding 1 Timothy 2:9-15The Bible says many things people find offensive. And it's no wonder.... This world is so messed up, virtually everything God has to say sounds backwards, archaic, and even laughable to those who are lost in sin.
Or could it be that when the Bible was written, it was a more backwards, archaic and laughable time... literature tends to mimic the times it was written in, just a thought.
