So what? Abraham Lincoln has been dead longer, and while I've seen the Colonel in real life, I have never seen Abraham Lincoln.
If you wish to argue that he isn't a historical personage because no one alive has seen him, have at it. It shows your inability to grasp the point about evidence.

You should be very careful with this line of argumentation, because here's my knight's fork: you must either claim that your Jesus is fictional because no one has seen him, or that Colonel Sanders's existence is only a matter of faith.
Put another way, I've got a shitload of evidence for Colonel Sanders, and you have none -- zero -- for Jesus as Son of God.

I find what you claim as "evidence" to be laughably incomplete and unpersuasive. I'm looking for stuff not referencing the Bible, and not requiring a priori faith.
In short: real evidence, not this playacting.
a priori faith.pride of life is the sin sport. Pride in God is not. I take great pride as Paul does and I am glad to boast when the wisdom of God beats out the philosophies of man.[/quote]
No, you're doing this so you can puff your own chest up, else you wouldn't take such an arrogant and sometime insulting tone.
Also, comparing yourself to Paul is another sign of overweening egotism.

You can either pray to your god for enlightenment, or you can reread for the context, but I won't repeat myself for your sake, as you won't for me.

There's a message there, but your interpretation is wrong.
You can understand the message, if you ponder it long enough. If it doesn't come right away, be patient, and don't give up; I am making it opaque in order to weed out the weak.
I'll give you a sign when you get it.
Have a good day.
