It's written in the tone of a sore loser. A person who fought for regressive policies, against people with better arguments and more accurate facts. A person who now, having lost the fight for the policy, retreats into their echo chamber and decries the debate as "not making room for my facts."
It's apparently impossible to write any neutral statement that does not receive 100% unanimous support from every single person on the planet earth:
> A great many Christians would take issue with such statements, which means they are not neutral for that reason alone
Way to take that statement entirely out of context. For anyone reading this later, this is what the article OP posted says in context:
> In another place, the article [the Wikipedia article about Jesus] simply asserts, “the gospels are not independent nor consistent records of Jesus’ life.” A great many Christians would take issue with such statements, which means they are not neutral for that reason alone. In other words, the very fact that many Christians, including many deeply educated conservative seminarians, believe in the historical reliability of the Gospels, and that they are wholly consistent, means that the article is biased if it simply asserts, without attribution or qualification, that this is a matter of “major uncertainty.” Now, it would be accurate and neutral to say it is widely disputed, but being “disputed” and being “uncertain” are very different concepts.
Put in context, Sanger is saying something that seems reasonable. I wouldn't expect Wikipedia to need unanimous support from Christians on all their articles, but it seems to me that maybe the article on Jesus should have some qualifications in there from, you know, the people who actually study and practice the faith centered on Jesus? It seems reasonable to me, but maybe I'm thinking about this too hard and the fumes from the "trashfire" are messing with my thinking.
