That's right -- none. You're trying to suborn my point even as you cannot meet its standards.

And where is the body of Hitler? That's right, no one knows. See how easy it is to create these stupid false arguments that you seem to love putting forward?

... he said, ignoring the vast, ahem, body of physical evidence for Hitler's existence.

Would you like to see a photograph?

Bonus points for dragging Hitler into the conversation, but they're not helping you much -- still very unconvincing.

It isn't. A stone hammer is a fact. An old writing might be a fact, or it might be fancy. I won't denigrate the value of old texts, but they aren't the best evidence, as any good thinker can see right away. Writings are subject to (mis)interpretation, as well as the same physical deterioration as simple facts like stone hammers.

I can point to archival footage and a world war that cost around 50 million human lives.

What you got for this Jesus fella? Pictures? A world war? Or simple mythology?

Your entire line of "reasoning" here, appealing to the Bible to prove the existence of Jesus, is the epitome of circular reasoning. You'll therefore forgive my skepticism, no?

The fact that the body -- the best evidence -- is nowhere to be found does Christianity no favors; indeed, it builds in doubt automatically the moment any believer starts asking questions. Surely you have a better argument than this.
