Key phrase here is "equal measures of scorn."
There are two schools of thought on the matter and you're equally, if not more biased than the other. You made a statement of fact and now there are those here who have scorned your view. There's nothing wrong with that ... that's what we do here, but it is you who first discounted the opinions of others and not the other way around by stating the existence of Jesus as a proven absolute. That's just blatant bias, as even I gave a little on the possibility of existence. There's a book supporting every theory and viewpoint on the planet. That doesn't mean that your particular book proves you correct. If you think it does than you should probably be a christian. They have a book that was allegedly written by the most powerful wizard in the universe. Is it absolute truth?
Pointing to others opinions who happen to share your own does not provide you with positive proof of your assertions. Everybody's gotta book bro.
