[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Muhammad’s historicity is similarly debated. The Quran was written down 20 years after his death (echos of Paul). The Hadith were written 2-3 hundred years later. There’s no record the Muslim conquerors across North Africa mentioned Mohammed or Islam, nor did their conquered subjects, until about 80 years in.

Yup. Just like Jesus, he “most likely” but we don’t have definitive evidence. [/quote]

[b]Who decides if evidence is "definitive?"

There is evidence (fact).  Whether anyone is persuaded by that evidence is up to each individual. [/quote]

We all have to decide for ourselves. For me "definitive" means direct evidence, and there isn't any.  But OTH, circumstantial evidence, of which there is a lot, can be very persuasive. [/quote]

You can be a Jesus truther and deny him, and join the flat earthers, climate change deniers, holocaust deniers, etc. Not great company to be in. [/quote]

I was just commenting on the nature of the evidence. It's not strong, but I'm not a denier either.[/quote]

Virtually all scholars of antiquity accept that Jesus was a historical figure, and attempts to deny his historicity have been consistently rejected by the scholarly consensus as a fringe theory.

So those who deny Christ was a historical figure know more than every scholar in the Western world?

It’s really arrogant to think you know more than the academics and scholars who overwhelmingly agree Christ was a historical figure. They accept the evidence; why don’t you?[/quote]

Zero PPs have denied his existence.

Seems like you have trouble with facts/reality. 
[/quote]

OP seems to believe Christ is a myth. That's why this thread exists. But we all know the question is moot.[/quote]

OP did not deny his existence.

You also have reading comprehension issues, or happen to be a lawyer.[/quote]
