Because to us - it's just a discussion, with almost nothing at stake. Randy on the other hand is desperately fighting for his salvation and the eternal life he's been conned into believing in - and failing at it. It's morbidly fascinating - like watching a venomous spider trying to climb out of the bath-tub.

Yeah, you've missed the whole point. Even atheist scholars concede that Jesus did exist.
I keep reading this thing that you write... It keeps grinding my gears...
A Jesus did most likely exist, I'll grant you that.
But what qualities does that Jesus have? What did he do?
What does Ehrman say about that Jesus that did exist? What do the scholars say about that Jesus?

A historical Jesus matters little if all that can be said of him is that he lived, preached, and was crucified.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
