Wish I could say the same of yours.

Quote:No idea what you mean by "validate the beliefs," unless you think appreciating Homer the poet like some admire Jesus the man is validating belief in the Greek pantheon... which is just dumb.
Given reasonable evidence of Jesus existence, you might have a point. But, as it stands, claiming Jesus existed is as baseless as saying he walked on water. Unless, and getting back to my original point, you are referring to one of many hundreds of thousands of people named Jesus that have existed. In that case, I'll let my realtor know how much you appreciate the work his parents put into naming him.
