The God of Convenience

[dyresand]

I accept the evidence for Plato and Socrates, but not for Jesus. Why do so many atheists believe in the existence of one and not the other?

The "evidence" for the physical existence of Jesus seems to be largely fabricated after the fact, unlike that supporting the two Greeks under discussion.

And there's no evidence that he was a deity, performed miracles or resurrected after death.

And yes, a shell game is exactly what you're running here in drawing this comparison.

Also the romans had great records and even censuses so if jesus did exist he would have shown up some where in records. But i don't get why people still believe out of blind faith when blind faith is stupid.
