Christians - What would you do if it were discovered Jesus never existed?
#37
RE: Christians - What would you do if it were discovered Jesus never existed?
The problem with trying to prove Jesus didn't exist is that even the gospel authors didn't actually know who they were writing about. They couldn't have picked him out of a beardy leper-molesting line up. They just had a bunch of oral stories. So if even they didn't actually know which historical figure the "real" Jesus was, there's no way any of us can. We'd have to disprove every dribbly apocalyptic preacher within 100 years and 100 miles.

So Jesus rides that wave of the argument from ignorance into the sunset of... some other cool thing.
