That carries about as much weight as saying "David Irving".

Well, that's about the end of our discussion. Poopyhead. Angel

Why do you keep banging on with the same tired old shit Danny?

It's all either been refuted repeatedly or shown not to be relevant

I'll also make the point that not one of the non biblical sources you love to quote even makes a big deal of Jesus.

And even if they proved that someone called Jesus actually existed, so what?

Without the miracles or the resurrection it means precisely squat.

The Bible is an appalling historical document and is reliable for almost nothing.

Honestly Zen, why can't you respond with your smoking gun proof that everything I said has already been disproved - show me.
