| Yes. There was a man born of a flesh and blood woman named Mary who was impregnated by God himself. That makes him the son of God, by gawd. | 5 | 12.82% | |
| No. Jesus was or was probably a real, historical person from the time period depicted in the bible but he was not the spawn of God. | 4 | 10.26% | |
| No. The Jesus of the bible was not or was probably not a historical person. More the stuff of legend and myth or possibly just fiction. | 11 | 28.21% | |
| Oh hell no. It's all bullshit. No gods. No offspring of gods. No woo woo shit at all. | 13 | 33.33% | |
| Don't know. Without an adequate definition of "god" it is impossible to know who may be the son of one, or if a 'god' is even capable of having a child. | 2 | 5.13% | |
| Don't care. Not really sure what I'm doing on the Christian sub forum, but as long as I'm here I'd just like to register my extreme disinterest. | 2 | 5.13% | |
| None of the above but I'll be letting you know in a comment. | 0 | 0% | |
| None of the above and I can't be bothered to comment. | 2 | 5.13% | |

My facepalm was a reaction to your playing the Josephus card right off the bat - mixed gaming metaphor notwithstanding - especially since we quite recently had a rehash of the exact same routine. As Min suggested, the search facility would have told you this and saved us all a lot of time.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Incidentally, why not post an introduction thread and get to know us a little first?

I already know all I need to know. Just another xtian shitwit who thinks his fucking fairy tales are real.
We've seen it all before Stim.
Quite possibly, but it's sort of an unofficial duty to encourage fresh meat to roam around, free range style, in the one place where they can't insult or be insulted.

You are too nice.

Hello Brucer. If you are interested in why there is a strong case for myth-jesus, please watch this video.
The bible, and other early works, contain many forgeries. Don't forget that. Also, it is literally impossible to prove any supernatural event, let alone causation, from textual accounts. It is impossible to prove supernatural causation (currently) even if you could reproduce the whole thing right now. I'll let this video do the rest of the talking. http://youtu.be/mwUZOZN-9dc Feel free to send me a private message.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
