Like I said, I may be wrong about this, perhaps aa5874 can clear that up.

No, you have it right. aa5874 is firmly positioned in the mythicist camp.

Taking something that is not provable as the ultimate truth makes you look rather foolish.

I think you have completely mis-read my post, I am MJ. I have not seen any evidence to support Jesus Christ being a human being, and those who claim He lived do so only from faith and imaginations.

I was just giving my interpretation of the view of those who believe Jesus was a real person.

All the claims that the NT makes about the origin of jesus is totally illogical and totally contrary to anything we know today. And not to mention that there is ZERO evidence for the life and existance of NT's Jesus, it has become more and more evident to me over the years that Jesus was never a real person.

Your statement reflects my view, and in fact the Jesus story may have been a deliberate distortion, known to be fictitious at the time of writing.

Do you believe in a historical Homer?
