    No evidence at all....did you not read the bit about Josephus or were you too keen to jump in and tell me just how wrong I am. It has nothing to do with my faith. i haven't cited it at what you just quoted.

    man...You are bad at this.

    I share your view that their was a bloke who happened to be a very convincing liar (though even if that was the cae, my point with regards to the evidence, or rather lack of it, stands firm and true).

    Or, to quote Mark Twain, I believe that "religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool".

    70 per cent of Americans believe in little green men.

    i'll keep repeating that statistic until you lot realise that sheer numbers doesn't prove anything.

    And how many of those lived 2,000 years ago? <doh>

    PS. There are 1,000,000,000 Hindus whose beliefs differ greatly from your own. That's a big number.

    The 'success' of Christianity has got **** all to do with Jesus. He was Jewish and wasn't trying to start a new religion. If that **** Paul hadn't taken an epileptic fit on the road to Damascus, none of us would have heard of Christianity.

    You mean the Josephus who was BORN AFTER JESUS DIED? <laugh> <doh>

    EDIT: Oh hang on, I'm wrong, if Jesus died in AD 43, then Josephus was 6. ****ing 6. Still <laugh> and still <doh>

    Just for clarification.

    You agree that I am right.
    But you want to argue about contemporary accounts of the son of a carpenter?

    The Appeal to Popularity is not a great argument. There are a billion Muslims, but you'd reject that out of hand as evidence of Islam being true.

    People nowadays believe in UFOs and aliens. Who knows what they believed 2,000 years ago.

    People are really gullible.

    I recommend Life of Brian for reference material <ok>

    I would have used different words, but that is about the sum of it.

    No. I said I believe there was a bloke who claimed to have done the things Jesus did. It's not the same thing is it?

    NO.

    1. It isn't contemporary FFS, I just explained that.

    2. Are you now mocking your own evidence?

    no. I am mocking you. You agree with me but are just arguing for the sake of it.

    I'm not completely sure if this is true, but I think Emmanuel translates into Jesus. And so what? Jews call God Yaweh, Muslins call Him Allah, it's all the same thing.

    It was actually Yeshua, it just got Chinese-whispered through a few intermediate languages between Aramaic and English.
