There is no evidence that Jesus Christ ever even existed. You accept Christ and your God entirely on faith, and faith is not a pathway to truth.

Nope, he'd start pleasing the almighty shaft until those big omnipotent balls start slapping him in the chin. I'm pretty sure if God asks him to do that, he has to. Luckily for GC, he wouldn't have to pretend to like it too.

Necessary for who?

Shows how little you know, There's more written about Christ than many leaders of His time and you accept them, why, because you haven't gained enough knowledge to see truth.

I don't see how ignoring my question does anyone any good.

Unlike "many leaders of the time", there is NOTHING written about "Jesus" during the time he supposedly lived. No one mentions him in any letter, document or record. Why would that be? Also, no one makes outrageous claims regarding "leaders of the time". "Jesus" is said to have walked on water, healed the sick with a touch of his hand and risen up from the dead. These are extraordinary claims. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The unsubstantiated crappola written in a "holy book" falls far short of the mark.

There are times when your ignorance comes in the extra-large dump truck size, G-C.

Didn't Suetonius and Tacitus write about how Vespasian cured two men, one of whom was blind? There was a period of time when Romans claimed that their emperors were divine, and such claims of miracles would probably not have seemed so strange to them. We don't accept them today for the same reason we don't accept claims about Jesus... oh, wait.
