the arguments on those links i posted from rational-revolution.lol.com stand on their own. g.a. wells and robert price have also written good and convincing books on the subject. the "consensus" arguments that jesus definitely existed, meanwhile, are not very satisfying in comparison. believe what you want though, appeals to authority and "lol internet spergs" and all that.

yees im going to ignore experts who spend decades studying primary texts and archaeology and instead spend hours of my own time reading someones html page filled with bible quotes

if i wanted to that id become a christian
