[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I[b]'m not Christian either, but I don't think there is a single piece of evidence that he ever even existed. The earliest mentions of Jesus are about 200 years after his alleged death.

Personally, I think he probably existed as a small cult leader. After his death, his legacy grew and eventually, the Roman empire adopted Christianity as a way of unifying the people.

Yeah, if you don't actually know something, you should not really respond.  Because you are incorrect. [b] There is a LOT of documented evidence of Jesus' existence, discussed at length in many, many, many books[/b].  Pretty much no one doubts his existence.[/quote]

Please list the books. The Bible doesn't count as one of them.[/quote]

How many of those books were written in the first century, A.D.? It doesn't count if the authors didn't actually meet him. Even the earliest references of Jesus were long enough after his death that they certainly didn't know him. [/quote]
