Unfortuantely, given that this is an astonishingly tough row to hoe (especially the way he's been going about it)
Historically establishing whether or not Jesus existed in the first place IS the way to go about it.

Stupidity. If he is being written about in the first century, how could he be a second century invention??

Ahhh yes yes. Keep talking like that. 2pac said "Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting pussy".

Everything is based on belief...the question is, what beliefs are true, and what beliefs are false?

What is a human life span to a God that has lived for eternity?

Shouldn't it have been able to keep Mohamed from gaining all the traction he did when he kick-started islam?
It's almost like the whole thing is man-made and based off pre-existing beliefs, cults, superstitions and fears!!
Don't you find that odd?
Shouldn't the concept of life from non-life be so apparently false that the question should never be "Does God exist", but "Which God exist"?

Why do you think I therefore consider xtians to be total fucking assholes?
If not giving a damn why you consider Christians to be assholes was synonymous with record sales....my not giving a damn why you consider Christians to be assholes would reach Michael Jackson'sThriller sales.
Holy CRAP that is a lot of sales!!!
