So?Well....women have been flying on brooms for a thousand years now....and they have a small following in Salem, Mass. And that could blossom in a few millennium!
If in 5,000 years there are billions of copies of Harry Potter does that mean little boys can fly around on brooms?

Every account about the character was WRITTEN AFTER THE FACT. The Romans were excellent census takers and if someone had been going around gaining the popularity as alleged in the bible, the ROMANS OF THAT TIME would have taken note of it OUTSIDE the bible. They did not.I believe ....and tell me if I'm wrong now....but weren't Romans trying to exterminate Christians? Also, I think they were big on extinguishing the names of "anyone" who would be a hostile king? Maybe even their own people?
Actually...it makes perfect sense to erase a guy like THAT!

And human flesh does not survive rigor mortis. So even if we agreed he did exist all it would prove is a MERE MAN and not a god/man, started a cult that got popular and went on to become a religion. Just like L Ron Hubbard was a mere man who started Scientology.You sound a lot like L Ron Hubbbaabbler...right now!

The bible was written by humans, not handed down by a god. You can pepper works of fiction with real people and real places but it does not make the fiction real, otherwise Superman is real because we've seen him fly around New York City.
Funny thing is? You and I are still arguing about that old "manual"! LOL!
...and I can't think of another publication that is still on the best seller list 2000 years later!
Wouldn't you love to have that publisher$ bank account! WHEWWWW!

There is no such thing as a god or gods, there are certainly real people who have created many different religions, but none of the claimed in them are real because a person started a cult. Otherwise I am a billionaire merely because I claimed it.
OK! I will believe you......... When: a book is written about YOU by 40 different authors. Get a cult started because of YOU. And then YOU die and come back from the dead... we'll have dinner together!
As a bonus? I'll pay for your dinner!
