[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire thread is 123 pages of one theist trying to make atheists look unreasonable and failing miserably.[/quote]

They look unreasonable on their own, nobody needs to help them.

Why do atheists care about Jesus?[/quote]

We have nothing but interpretations of secondary sources. No independent, eyewitness accounts. No archeological artifacts. It's inaccurate to claim otherwise.

Why do theists care about the historicity? They "believe" the story of him whether he actually existed or not.

Jesus Christ is our spiritual leader and through him we gain salvation. Knowing and acknowledging out Lord was a real man who died on the cross is part of our religion. That’s why Christians care.

Again, why do atheists care?[/quote]

It’s [i]the story[/i] that you find compelling. You know aspects of it aren’t true so why should it matter if an actual man lived or not?

His physical existence doesn’t affect you either way.

So you are telling me how I should think and feel about my religion? Why? As an atheist- why do you care about Jesus and why do you care about how I practice my religion? Can I tell you how to think and feel about any subject? You are crazy!![/quote]

His physical existence doesn’t affect you either way. Millions of Christians probably never gave it a second thought.

Why do you need to prove that he absolutely lived?

Does that desire for absolute certainty cloud your reasoning?
