Atheists being asked about the existence of Jesus

[Mermaid]

I dunno, I am an atheist and I think Jesus in some form or another probably existed as a human, then the story got really, really out of hand. That being said, I don't know. And that's what I would say.

I have gotten really good at keeping my hand to myself and turning the question around so the other person starts to talk about Jesus and forgets all about finding out my opinion. I don't share that with the vast majority of people, and when pressed, (which I haven't been), I'd make my escape by saying I find it to be a really private thing that I don't want to talk about.

I'm surprised you haven't been pressed

I like being cornered by folk who want an answer... Their faces when they get an alternative view is priceless.

I'd lose my job, so I keep it to myself.
