Christians - What would you do if it were discovered Jesus never existed?

[Drich]

But, again the best anyone could ever do is point to one understanding, or interpretation of Christ and say their is no evidence to substantiate this particular belief. What you seem to fail to grasp is that God is the sole reason for my belief. Not one religious interpretation or another. Meaning I do not rely on what one 'scholar' may say over what another may work to prove. God is my proof. I am not a lemming, I do not follow the crowd simply because the crowd is going in one direction or another. I have sought truth for a very long time and I have found it, and no one will ever be able to take that from me.

So, essentially the answer to the question "what would you do if offered incontrovertible evidence that Jesus never existed?" for you, is "decide that the evidence doesn't count because I've presupposed that I can't possibly be wrong about my religious beliefs."

Shocker.  

Again, sport. What does 'incontrovertible evidence of the non existance' of someone look like? Any tangable evidence will only ever point to that persons existence. That's no little hurdle to over come. if it could have been over come I believe it would have been shortly after the death of Christ. So to argue what if their is proof of the nonexistence of Christ is fallacious reasoning, because such 'proof' can never be manifest.

That's the thing, Because you all never witnessed God for yourself the discussion becomes one of philosophy, which means everything must be 'reasoned' out because one has no experience of God. When one knows God personally, philosophy gets left by the wayside for experience.
