Not that convincing.
As someone else said, I forget who, we have about as much reason to believe Jesus is real as we do King Arthur.
I don't disagree with that. All I'm saying is that it is not reasonable to expect that there would be writings around about him that were written during his lifetime that would have survived to this day. Some people in this discussion seem to feel that there would be such writings sitting around here and there if he had existed.
Then it's also not reasonable to expect writings just 100 years after his death to have survived to this day... right?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
