hmmmm  I sense a sence of (sense a sense?) (oy) annoyance. Perhaps this is due to a poor childhood disorder. Tell me, did you go to school? AHA!! That is the problem, you are educated. This is easily cured by quaffin large quantities of alcohol or drugs until you lose all your worldly possesions, then once you hit the very bottom of the sewer, you can be welcomed back into society by granting a non-existant deity into your life and proclaiming "EUREKA" at the top of your lungs.
Interesting side note here, ya see, while those who don't believe in god won't believe you,, those who DO believe in god won't believe you either....really,,try being more righteous than they are,, see how that works for ya......hehehh

There is no stable evidence to support the existence of the biblical Jesus.

And while I may be willing to give Carrier's book a go when it comes out, I'm not really interested too much in the argument anymore. I don't really think it matters whether Jesus existed or not. |
This pretty much sums me up too. |

christianity probably originated in the asia minor region(the writings of paul that predate the gospels which contain geographical errors support this). Christianity is the result of the syncretistic mixture of pagan savior god mythology (reference the mystery religions) and Jewish messianic thought(probably influenced by the Essenes) which explains why there is NO mention of a Jesus in Jewish historical records of the time. The probability that there was a historical Jesus is infinitesimally small. christina a knight

The one in the bible.......I would say NO. No contemporary evidence outside the bible and WAY too much was copied from other savior figures from other cultures.

If there were a person like a Jesus who existed historically two thousand years ago, I seriously doubt it was the likes of the Jesus in the Bible. The Jesus in the bible defies all manner of logic and his life resembles that of a spiritual fairy tale that can only be believed by the gullible. |

| I believe he existed as a preacher of what he believed in. However, I don't believe he rose from the dead, multiplied food, turned water to wine and other myths. Quite frankly, I'm not sure if he was even crucified because there have been so many other so called crucified saviors in the past. |

That is the more common view. But, as it turns out, there isn't really any good evidence for this view.
