Did Jesus Christ exist as a historical human or was he a theological construct?

As a newcomer, I must say that I am very impressed by the (apparent) level of expertise on this web site, less impressed though with insults to anyone who holds a theist view or even has doubts. Surely better to convince them with logic than convince them that atheists are unpleasant louts and all to be avoided. Also, why does everyone seem to knock the poor Christians and not the other faiths? They are mostly as bad as one another - or are we no meant to upset Jews and Muslims etc?

Hi C.H.T.

I'd like to know where you come from, if anywhere, if you think this place does that much (insults theists). Either that or I've gone soft. This is almost a theist haven! I think if you looked deeper you'd see a different picture. Thanks for the observation anyway. Other religions get knocked too - we have a new Muslim friend, the first to stick around, a polytheist (well at least one), we have a couple of Jews IIRC, erm... who else we got guys?

Whatever... welcome aboard and nice first post
