By the way, do you ever take Tim's balls off your chin long enough to realize that he doesn't believe that your fictional, inbred, back-woods zealot had magic powers? Regardless of how you slice it, there is no evidential reason whatsoever to believe the claims in the gospels alone, much less the rest of the Holly Bible. You have no proof of your claims, Randy. Jesus has no proof of his claims. None.
A reputable, ATHEIST NT scholar like Bart Ehrman says Jesus existed. What about you?
Did Jesus exist, Pinkie?
Yes or no?
You asked Pinkie but I hope it is okay if I answer. The Jesus as described in the bible did not exist. That does not mean that his myth wasn't loosely based on a the life of a real person or persons. A group of preachers like him might have actually existed or they might not have existed. At the present time, there is no way to know. It doesn't change the fact that there is no god and no son of god
