Why do atheists even bother about debating Jesus?

[Zen Badger]

One question I do have from all this is why the idea that there might have been an historical Jesus is so terrifying to some people.

Why should I be terrified?

In fact, until recently I thought Jesus was a real person. Just a victim though of the propaganda machine that is religion.

I never really questioned it, afterall everyone acted like he had existed.

And then I researched what was on record by going straight to the horses mouth so to speak.

I looked up what the RCC had to say on the matter.

And you know what? They had NOTHING.

And if the organization supposedly based on his ministry can't produce any evidence.........
