[quote=Anonymous][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]

Because theocrats are working hard to take away our civil rights.  [/quote]

Historical Jesus isn’t taking your rights away.[/quote]

No, because he's just a dead guy.

But people are doing it in his name because they believe stuff with no evidentiary basis.

I think the world would be a better place - a MUCH better place - if people didn't believe in supernatural things.

That's why atheists care.[/quote]

I’m a different atheist. I DGAF what people believe or do in their own home. I only have an issue when they try to force their religious beliefs on me. Hello,  SCOTUS with extremist religious agenda.

That’s not really relevant for this thread though.
