[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Atheists spending their day, day after day, as fringe deniers. Every historian and scholar in the western world accepts Jesus historically. Anyone who doesn’t is a fringe denier and conspiracy theorist. [/quote]

No one denied.  :roll: [/quote]

You opened up the probability of denial by saying there was a 1-49% chance Jesus didn’t exist. Enough of the dumb semantic games. [/quote]

No one said there was a 49% chance. I can see what the PP got frustrated with the blatant lying. Isn’t that a sin or something? Thou shall not troll?

“Most likely” exists is not denying. That *is* the most likely scenario. [b]We just don’t have definitive evidence that he lived[/b]. We only have people who heard about him from other people and then some people wrote it down based on what they heard. 
[/quote]

And here’s where you’re out of step with thousands of scholars, including the three above, who are convinced he definitely lived.[/quote]

They think the circumstantial evidence is compelling. That doesn’t make it definitive. 
[/quote]

Why are you speaking for thousands of scholars and academics?[/quote]

Because there is only circumstantial evidence available. And many say “I accept” the historicity. [/quote]

You have zero right to speak for any historian, scholar, or academic. What are your qualifications to speak for these people? [/quote]

They say “I accept” the historicity because it is very likely he lived. Nobody can say definitively because we don’t have a direct evidence. 
[/quote]

You and your word games. Now you’re arguing that “I accept” somehow implies a continued sliver of doubt. This is laughable.

Also, cites please. Who exactly is saying “I accept”?[/quote]
