[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.

^ I said that above. The evidence is circumstantial, but the weight of it is pretty persuasive.

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.

[b]Cite, please. Link to someone who calls the evidence “compelling but not definitive.”[/b][/quote][/quote]

I said that above, a couple of days ago. The evidence is circumstantial, but it's pretty persuasive nonetheless.[/quote]

Remind us, what are your scholarly credentials again? Can you find a single scholar who agrees with you that it’s merely “pretty persuasive” and link to them?[/quote]
