Have you found Jesus?

Because we'd like to bury him again and make sure he stays dead this time.

Going to check out the local store for discounted easter candy.

That a historical Jesus existed and walked the Earth seems at least certain.  At the same time he was viewed by the Jewish, Roman and Pagan (not a derogatory term, by the way) intelligentsia as being a religious loon not worthy of mention is just as certain.  The knew a nut when they saw one and would be amazed at the Christian cults of our day!

Glad it's over. Load of nonsense.

As I have said before ..... if Jesus was God, and God knows everything  ... It wasn't a sacrifice it was a suicide .....

Bury pieces of him on all the continents. Bury red herrings as well.

That's been my position. The idea of a messianic preacher causing trouble in 1st century Palestine isn't all that far-fetched.  But we're not going to learn anything about him by reading the Gospels.

Or the epistles or heavily edited  "church history " (which hasn't always been the same early Christians were totally different then latter ones) As apologists insist

Here I refer to it as "nail up saviour weekend".

For dome reason some people hate that term.
