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

So instead of taking the glory for themselves like pretty much all other humans they decide to preach about an imaginary friend? Meh… Between “guy who got lost in history” and “bunch of guys that raved about that one gf that went to a different school”, I’ll go with the former as the more plausible one.

I’ll concede the fact that it’s not the same level of proof as other figures, but all these people writing about him is more than we have about others.

There are basically four positions you can take about this:

Jesus existed and was crucified

We can’t know, because there is no conclusive evidence, but I think (1) is more likely

We can’t know, because there is no conclusive evidence, but I think (2) is more likely

Jesus is a myth

I am on (2), as are most historians, and you put yourself on (1).

  Yeah, I guess that’s fair. Religion and history are so intertwined when it comes to this subject that it’s easy to dismiss sources as biased, which is what’s happening here. Still not convinced they should be dismissed in this case
