Did Jesus exist?

So I did some research on this Panther. And by research, I mean reading wiki articles and extracting just the things that might sound like they support my position if taken out of context.

It turns out it's a real guy, or at least a real fictional guy. Possibly some soldier or something.

But let's face it, a real panther is much funnier.

Yes, I actually did research as well after seeing that name in the diagram. Turns out this is part of some tradition not based in the Bible: depending on which tradition you read, either Panther (or Pandera) was the actual father of Jesus, or his grandfather, or a relative to Jesus in some other way.

Are you guys talking about Panthro, the techie thundercat?

They didn't have a picture, but that is probably accurate yeah.

Hmm, so Panther isn't in the bible? Some extra made up shit to get around the David business?

Celsus explicitly stated that Jebus was the son of Panthera, and editions of the Jerusalem talmud mention a Yeshua son of Pandera. The Panther was put into the Mary 'blooine' to wave away this difficulty by early apologists.
