If their was a painic stop botton in a Jesus conversation, this would be it. If you not willing to entertain the Idea that Christ existed (whatever the reason) then their is no need to go any further.
Listen, take put the Jesus Kool Aid down for a second and take that puppet master hand out of your back. You act like one of Jeff Dunham's puppets, but nowhere near as funny.
I have said it before, and you are NOT the first I have had this argument with. I have been online debating religion for 12 years now, this is not my first rodeo.
The honest Historians, not the theologians, not the apologists. The honest historians HAVE NOT found one lick of evidence for the alleged Jesus character.
But, if we pretend for a second, he did exist, it still would not make virgin births real. It still would not mean human flesh can survive rigor mortis.
We know that George Washington existed, but no person I would consider sane would claim he could fart a full sized Lamborghini out of his ass back then.
You can rent a Superman movie, and in it you can see the character flying around the REAL city of New York, but you don't believe humans fly like that because New York is a real city?
"He existed" doesn't make magic real, it doesn't make your god real. The only thing it would mean if proven, would be that a man managed to start a cult. It wouldn't make him magic, and it does not mean an invisible friend in the sky is real either.
You merely swallowed a superstition. You like having a super hero. You are not doing anything differently than Muslims when they claim Mohammed existed, and they have more evidence for that than you do for Jesus, yet you are not a a Muslim.
Why should I give one lick of credibility to a tribal comic book full of violence, sexism, genocide, incest, lead by a head character whose only goal is to get you to kiss his ass? Why should I value a book that has absolutely no basis in scientific realty, much less any moral credibility?
That is your comic book, not mine.

Run away if you wish. But always remember when you do chose to argue with skeptics, ultimately, before you get to your comic book, you start off with the naked assertion that there is such a thing as an invisible disembodied magical super brain.
FYI I don't entertain virgin births because I know what DNA is. I don't entertain zombie gods because I know what rigor mortis is.
You don't entertain Thor do you? Why not? Thor makes as much sense explaining lightening as godsperm explains virgin births.
