Paul - a late invention.

Yeah, but he can't figure out how to make sure that all his friends mention his book-writing in their emails to their friends. Fifteen hundred years from now, people will question his very existence.

Fifteen hundred years? 15 years from now this forum probably won't exist and only secondary texts (copies of copies) will have survived.

15 years from now:-

"Aside from posts he purportedly made in the International Skeptics Forum (ISF) there is no evidence for the existence of a historical dejudge - no origin, no early life, no home town, no legal or financial records, no mention in other texts that we would expect if he really was a famous biblical scholar, no coins minted in his name, no statues etc. Even his profile tells us nothing except user name and joining date: 15th November 2013 - clearly a late invention."

"Analysis of ISF posts show that many of dejudge's writings were copied from a common text, though some have spurious additions and others are obvious forgeries. He is probably a bot or troll farm, possibly created by the Catholic Church as a ridiculous straw man to discredit real skeptics."

"But don't we have 'eye witness' accounts of interaction with dejudge from other posters who did exist?"

"Sadly, no. We don't have any external evidence for other posters in the ISF either, and the internal evidence is contradictory. For example theprestige claims to live in Hong Kong but appears to be American, and Roger Ramjets was a cartoon character. Although some posters have provided a wealth of information about themselves, it is impossible to know when they are telling the truth and when they are 'joking'. They often appear to be ignorant of historical facts, which suggests they weren't actually there. Some are also suspiciously prescient of 'future' events that they could not have known about at the time."
