    There’s a good chance he existed. The religious stuff you can say what you want but can’t confidently say he didn’t exsists.

      If a historical person existed named “Jesus” who was also a vocal proponent of Jewish reform, existed that does not make the “Jesus” in the bible a real person. These two people would be mutually exclusive. Real people can’t preform magic. Real people are not born to virgins. Real people cannot be resurrected from the dead after days. There is no person who ever existed who could walk on water and turn water to wine. That “Jesus” is fiction through and through. The Bible is a story book. A book of fables. At best it’s historical fiction. Christian Jesus is a fantasy.

        So what you’re saying is if Bob tells me (your name) has a flying tiger, and I later find out you don’t have a flying tiger… you no longer exists?

        Hate religion all you want but don’t shit on history. In all likelihood there was a Jesus the story is based off of. Who was probably real. We have lots of non religious documents that mention him. The Quran mentions him. He probably existed as a person.

        Like you exist as a person even though you don’t have a flying tiger.

        Militant atheists are just as problematic as religious zealots.

        Both annoying, pushy, and insisting you’re way is the only way. Everyone else is damned.

        It’s the same playbook lol.

          Lol

          Trying to be the enlightened centrist and saying this. Show me the genocides being committed currently in the name of atheism.

          I dont particularly care, I have religious friends but come on.
