Alright, so you agree that Jebus is nonesense/myth bit but you are not part of this "Jesus myth movement/religion"?
No, what I am saying is that the Jesus Myth movement is a joke religion. Period.

I'm agnostic swinging very hard towards atheism, and all I see is another dumb religion.

I'm confused, so people who proposed retarded positive existentials are religious (?) and the people debunking their bullshit are religious too... (?)

Take a look at the works of Earl Doherty & Rook Hawkins, and you'll see what I mean. You'll see how they are constructing an entirely new philosophy for Paul and Jesus, and attempting to sell that as their idea of the truth.

After all, if they didn't believe what they are saying, then they'd be liars, right?

One that you are apparently apart of, seeing as how you think that the Jesus story is nonsense...

Well, seeing as agnosticism is just another religion in and of itself, your dumb too. Can't escape it, everything is apparently a religion.

Once you define atheism as "religion" the term loses all meaning and derails from the conventional usage. Quite simply -- atheism isn't a religion, nor is theism (by itself), nor is agnosticism.

BTW, please start a thread demonstrating how atheism is "dumb", much less a religion.

And evolution is a religion too, right?

One more insult, and you're reported. In the meantime, enjoy the ignore button.

You are just a believer. You believe Jesus was REAL.

There are many religions where the belief that Jesus was Real is accepted doctrine.

You are propagating religous beliefs, or even a religion, if you believe and try to persuade others that Jesus was real.

Ad hominem? I'm attacking a religion, and the claims it makes. Not the people.

From your first two postings:

"crazy off-beat reasoning process"
"bizarre idea"
"who needs to believe in this rubbish"
"this new religion is laugable at best"
"ridiculous movement"
"religious fanatics"
"crazy philosophy"

That's ad hominem, in other words, avoiding facts for personal attacks.

"You’re dumb too*"...Oh noes!!!

Do you know what an empty threat is?

Demonstrate how atheism is dumb and argue for this all inclusive definition of "religion".
