Well... good point, I guess it's a question of definition.

I'm not claiming that I know jesus is mythical, I'm saying I believe it, and I find it the most likely thing. I don't know Harry Potter isn't real either, but I feel the same level of confidence.

Does that make me a mythicist? Or do I have to claim knowledge? Claiming knowledge seems indefensible.

myth-i-cist [mith-uh-sist]

-noun

a person who views various figures of antiquity, including both pagan gods and major biblical characters, as mythical


Doesn't seem like I need to claim knowledge. It's like being a-jesus. I have seen no evidence to suggest that jesus is anything other than myth.

Maybe I'm not using the right term. I just think he's fiction, that's my belief. Does that make me a mythicist? I suppose that's implying an actual link between him and previous myths... I don't know.

I'm an agnostic ajesusist.
