There were hundreds of men named Y'shua in first century Judaea. There had to be as it was a very common name. The issue is not, and never was, if there was "a" jesus. The issue is about "the" jesus. Most of the major precepts of the so-called jesus are warmed over Greek concepts which had been floating around the region for centuries. Nothing new there. The xtians insist that their boy came back from the dead. If the cherry-pickers dispute that one then they are no longer xtians. I don't know what the fuck they are. The Fundies insist the story is true and they come across as idiots.
Xtians do not worship the name and they sure as shit do not abide by the principles. Therefore what they worship is the magic tricks. As H. L. Mencken said:
There is no possibility whatsoever of reconciling science and theology, at least in Christendom. Either Jesus rose from the dead or he didn’t. If he did, then Christianity becomes plausible; if he did not, then it is sheer nonsense.
And here we sit while the xtians argue among themselves.
Almost humorous, isn't it?
