No one was named "Jesus" 2000 years ago because the letter "J" didn't exist until around the year 1600. You call call such a guy just about anything else but he sure as hell wasn't named "Jesus" at that time. When the writers of the fairy tale blow their own butts out of the water pver such a simple fact as that why would any rationalperson believe anything that they made up about a magical Jewish zombie when the word "Jew" didn't exist until then?
So, do you think Jesus was a real person? I'm not asking if you think Jesus was divine, or if He performed miracles, or if He was crucified, died, and came back.
I'm simply asking if you think there was a man 2000ish years ago named Jesus who brought forth these new "ideas" that we now call Christianity.
I'm sure everyone knew what I meant.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
