That there were early Christians in Jerusalem that claimed their leader was the Messiah, and that he rose from the dead. Now did he rise? That's something the historians are in dispute about.
Do you worship a man named jesus or a god? Is your gods name Paul?
Do I? I don't know, I'm going through a struggle of faith and don't know where I stand, but that doesn't mean I'm going to deny the facts just because I may become an atheist. Is it a requirement to just go along with "Jesus never existed, Paul is a made up guy, religion is awful, and religious people can go to hell" in order for me to become an atheist ?
