Have you gotten the answer to your question?

Neither. I'm speaking for the group on average.

There are always two possibilities, one that Jesus existed and the other that Jesus did not. These possibilities will always exist regardless of anyone's position.

But the reasons why a person holds a particular view is always most interesting.

Only if you're really bored.


Now you know what's wrong with society.



But that potential is still there, huh? All ya gotta do is change those minds.

Addition: And I guess it would depend on exactly where you are standing (re: stance).

Something Gawd and Jebus can't get past either...

I added the bolds…
The exclamation “!” to me implies the lack of sincerity in the “thanks” of the same sentence, or "thanks for nothing".

Maybe it wasn’t a direct question, but I was addressing a premise which predicated your question. So I provided a link which shows your premise false. Sorry if you don’t like to have valid information… :huh:

I am not sure. Taking all the relevant evidence into consideration, to the extent that I am aware of that evidence, I think it probable the he did not exist, but only probable.

I do not presume that I know everything there is to know about all the evidence that exists. If any book would tell me something that I don't already know about the evidence, I would like to read it, because I want my opinion to be as well informed as I can make it. If the additional evidence would make me change my mind, so much the better. It's not that I want to change my mind. I am just as averse to that as everybody else is. But I would rather go through the discomfort of changing my mind than to persist in believing something that the evidence does not actually support.

Nothing like ridicule.

Don't worry, I don't give, But why would your gods - the supposed creators of the entire universe - need money for? They forget how to *poof* it into existence?

Considering that a local bookstore has three aisles of Christian apologetics, prayer books, and other literature "just to reassure" Christians, and perhaps half a dozen single books related to atheism or freethought, we're not the ones who need reassurance.
