Does a God exist?

[Minimalist]

The 'Gospel of the Lord', which was the version of gLuke used by Marcion and thus the first canonical version of any gospel begins at 3:1.  This means that the earliest written version for which we have any attestation - and this comes from the early xtian heretic hunters who wrote against Marcion does NOT contain any of the whole-world being taxed shit, or the angels announcing John the Baptist and this jesus fuck or whatever else is in the first two chapters of bullshit which must have been added on at a later date. 

BTW, Marcion has 'jesus' showing up as a grown man literally popping into Capernaum at the beginning.  Obviously, Later xtian writers gave his gospel a thorough re-write.

And they were astonished at his doctrine,
