This question turns up on atheist forums with monotonous regularity.
A simple question invites a simple answer:
There is no credible evidence for the historicity of the man would have probably been called something like Yeshua/Yoshu bar Yusuf ('Jesus' is a latinised version of the Greek Iesous)
There is no doubt in my mind that the Jesus of the New Testament is myth,that the New Testament is the mythology of Christianity. The Torah is the base of Christianity.That set of books is the mythology of an insignificant tribe of bronze age goat herders.
Both old and new testament are written in a language few believers can read. Instead they rely on self appointed experts to tell them what god 'really means'
Bored now.

What are you saying? Are you saying Jesus wasn't a white, patriotic American? That sir, is blaspehmy.
This may come as a shock ,but it was firmly established during the reign of Queen Victoria,that Jesus AND God the father were English. I think the Holy Spirit was considered foreign,what with being a pigeon and all.
