Of course - there is no reason to accept that the christ was a real person - there is not a single mention of him in the historical record of his time - none at all.
And if you could post this nonsense -- you do not know what the words Atheist/ agnostic actuallly mean.
Are you stating that I don't know what atheist/agnostic means? Because I posted a letter from a family member to me, soliciting feedback and conversation? How does posting a letter from someone else in any way translate to not knowing what those terms mean? Wow, thanks for the helpful dialogue. Maybe I am misunderstanding you though.

No, I have discovered that when a person does not want to be judged, they just proclaim that the Judge doesn’t exist. However they wish to believe, it does not change the reality of justice. Be certain of this, one day when the Author of the play walks on the stage, the curtain will be dropped.
Jeez, what a classy fucking statement. Where the hell do christians get off, saying things like that? I don't see anyone else trying to reinterpret his motives into some weakness of character. It's just a real class act, a top to bottom fucking masterclass in schoolyard intimidation: "you just don't believe me because you're a dumb dumb who eats poo, and I'm going to tell everyone!"
Oh, and he's "discovered" all this, has he? Well, discoveries generally come with evidence and not petty bullshit, so what exactly was it that informed this "discovery" of his?
Precisely. That is the paragraph that really pisses me off and has prompted me to finally tear his email apart line by line. I have ignored it for far to long trying to be respectful but that has now left the building. This equates to nothing more than hell, fire and damnation preaching.
