Magus you would have a point if Jesus were only a historical person. But that is not all that you are talking about when you speak of Jesus. Forget about the paucity of information about Jesus and its dubious origins. Just addressing all the rest of the supernatural mumbo jumbo is enough to dismiss Jesus.

More accurately, you don't believe you have any need for him. You could very well find out in the future that you need Him more than anything else.

Of course not. So based that on that alone the claims should be highly suspect.

People do grow up eventually Magus and leave the thoughts of childhood behind.

If you don’t think there is sufficient evidence to believe in God, it pretty much follows that you’re not going to believe in the son of God.

We need to put up a sign in this forum: Think before you post

That help?
Have you seen any proof that Napolean existed?

Proof, no, evidence yes. Lots and lots of independent, unbiased evidence. You see, if only believers can see it, it is automatically suspect.

These three catagories of people number probably in the millions, can they be wrong?
McDonalds claims over billions served. Is there food good for people?

I don't think so.

One more Those little wafers that are supossed to be Christ taste worse than a McDonalds' burger!
Way to stereotype!

That has nothing to do with what I said. I don't care if he's the "non-natural creator of the universe" or the all-knowing golden bucket of Italy. God, should he be real, has the ability to communicate with us, yet he refuses to.

Many people believe that they have. They usually use them around old mansions and abondoned mental hospitals, though. Oddly enough, those people often find themselves in functioning mental hospitals later in life.
