[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe there are 10 pages of people responding to what is clearly a troll post.

Hinduism/Buddhism/[b]Islam existed LONG before Jesus was supposedly even born. [/quote]

? Islam started in around 600 AD, long [u]after[/u] Jesus was born. Good lord, if you're going to criticize at least get your facts straight.[/quote]

And “supposedly”? Even dyed-in-the-wool atheists like Bart Ehrman say that anybody who doubts Jesus’ existence is a mouth-breathing Neanderthal. [/quote]

Oh yeah?  Where does he say that, exactly?

/it’s not even close to what he says about the topic, troll.[/quote]

Bart definitely says that in other words:

“I think that atheists have done themselves a disservice by jumping on the bandwagon of mythicism, because frankly, it makes you look foolish to the outside world. If that’s what you’re going to believe, you just look foolish.“[/quote]

you really left out the essence of his argument though, which is "The reason for thinking Jesus existed is because he is abundantly attested in early sources...."   That's pretty much my conclusion too, but I can see why there might be some room for doubt.  Much (even most) of Matthew and Luke is mythical. Doesn't mean that Jesus didn't exist of course.
