>>You just spent lotsa posts saying Jesus didn't exist. Now he does. I got mixed-up confusion, and man it's killin' me.<< I'm not saying he does or doesn't exist as a criminal or morally degenerate cult-leader. If you're willing to admit that that's what he would have to be in order to account for his statements and mission, then I'm willing to admit that there could be the human Jesus everybody is insisting had to exist. It's extremely unlikely but I'm willing to admit it is possible. I will not, however, accept the argument that he was this compassionate, wise, loving, peaceful itinerant philosopher with a loyal following who kept his memory alive after his death and eventually founded a church to honor him. No such person existed--certainly not in the pages of the bible.
