Can you still be an atheist after this?

Is that right? Then where do all those 'Jesus is a myth' theories come from? Sports psychologists?

I think one of the most popular theories is that there was a man, or perhaps several men, who said or did SOME of the things described, with the rest tacked on either from pre-existing myths or for dramatic effect, or to retroactively prove the OT correct. This would make him (at least partially) a myth.

Certainly no historian who didn't have a vested interest in the Bible being true has ever suggested there was anything other than circumstantial evidence for things such as the resurrection. And yet historians of all walks have confirmed the existence of figures such as Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Pizarro, Hitler, Tutankhamun and The Incredible Hulk. ISN'T THAT WEIRD?
I'll tell you what I did. I punched into Google 'Jesus was a myth'. From there I got the Wikipedia article 'Jesus myth theory'. From there I got a link to this gentleman, who was the first name among several mentioned:

You're right Stat, I had a really hard time finding a historian who thought Jesus was a myth. I might need to lie down.
