I can't entirely say that about Jesus's Way because it has many inconsistencies and mixed messages stained with confusion. Buddha's existence is irrelevant because his teachings definitely exist. Yet I personally think it is likely that a man named Siddhartha probably did live thousands of years ago. At least more likely than Jesus because I think there is more circumstantial evidence in Buddha's case, despite being 500 years earlier.

Present your evidence.As to the question you asked Chad. It's simple, religion makes claims. Many, many claims. They could go about the business of demonstrating any of them. They do attempt to do so, they consistently fail to do so, and then realizing that they have completely and utterly failed to do so; they complain about having to do so in the first place (staring directly at you). All of these religions were absolutely sure (at least at one point in time) that it was easy to demonstrate their veracity, hell, self-evident. This current retreat to what they feel are unfalsifiable claims is a product of that. Still, they haven't been able to engineer unfalsifiable claims. Remember that question you asked me in our other thread? Yep......
