The Gospel Jesus.  Supernatural walked-on-water raised-the-dead Jesus.  Who did all this stuff with no contemporaneous accounts despite many "miracles".  That's the one that didn't exist.[/quote]

That’s your OPINION because faith is personal and not subject to facts. You can say you don’t believe in Jesus. Richard Carrier can say he doesn’t believe in Jesus. [/quote]

Ahh, and this is the problem.  Anything that is "not subject to facts".  As Christopher Hitchens famously said, "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence"

But your opinion holds zero water in whether I and my fellow 240 million American Christians believe in historical and/or supernatural Jesus.

That's an [i]ad populum[/i] fallacy.

[quote=Anonymous]And historical Jesus did exist, according to all the real scholars. [/quote]

Scholars like Ehrmann, that you quoted, who studied the bible sources in the original languages and became atheist?
