Oh, the tedium....

AR282, I am not a Christian. I have no stake whatsoever in defending the Christian religion.

This, however, does not hinge in any way on my opinion that Jesus was probably a real person. It's the same opinion I have about Buddha, Rama, Krishna, and any number of other such figures out of antiquity.

Why are you not railing against Buddhism? Against Hinduism? Against Janeism? Against Zoroastrianism? Against Sikhism? Against Islam?

It's not really fair that all your misplaced sense of persecution should be devoted to just ONE out of the various famous religions and religious figures out there. It sounds, in fact, a bit arbitrary and irrational to me. Give Jesus a break, poor fellow, and set about disproving and/or vilifying some of the others too, why not? I think you are giving Christianity more exclusive focus here than it may deserve...
