Quote: It's a circular argument to say, "Jesus probably didn't exist because the texts about him are corrupt and include embellishment; therefore Jesus probably didn't exist."Whew, good thing thats not the mythicist argument huh...nutcase. No need to repost what's already been discussed, but proponents of christ myth theory are perfectly comfortable saying "there may have been a jesus". Lets see what a mythicist actually does argue.....eh?
"the theory that no historical Jesus worthy of the name existed, that Christianity began with a belief in a spiritual, mythical figure, that the Gospels are essentially allegory and fiction, and that no single identifiable person lay at the root of the Galilean preaching tradition."
Take a crack at that, rather than pitching straw?
Quote:Keep in mind that we have sources about Jesus' life and influence that are not written by his followersLets see those, that's all anyone's asked for, the evidence that lead you to the conclusion. Or, if you'd rather, you can sit on your branch and chirp "the consensus, the consensus".
