Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

  There was a Paul that lived in Midwest America Is that proof he had a big blue ox?

  I do not understand.

  Like, we have that elusive physical evidence that 6,000 of Sparticus’ followers were crucified…

  Go on then. Show us the evidence.

  There’s a pretty good chance at least one of those guys was named Jesus too mate, it was a pretty common name

  Not all the texts use that name. Some say Christus or Chrestus, ha-Notzri, Yeshu, ben Stada or ben Pandera.

    I do not understand

    That is clear.

    Go on then. Show us the evidence.

    You want me to physically show you? Like roll up to your house with it?

    Can’t I just give you a link that provides the info about it?

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion#Ancient_Rome

    And you definitely didn’t understand that last bit you quoted…

    You haven’t understood all of this.

    I get it man, you have “faith” but that’s not evidence.

    It doesn’t mean anything

      You don’t

      you have “faith”

      I don’t.

      that’s not evidence

      The evidence we’re talking about is the textual references in Pliny etc.

      Say we have a textual reference like this: “In the year of the consulship of Caius Vipstanus and Caius Fonteius, Nero deferred no more a long meditated crime. Length of power had matured his daring, and his passion for Poppaea daily grew more ardent.”… would you say that a person called Caius Vipstanus existed from that evidence?

        You just made up #2 and apparently don’t know what contemporary means…

        But I don’t think explaining is going to help.
