[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certainly Paul was be-bopping all over Ancient Rome writing letters and starting churches within 50 years of his death.  And his writings and behavior are much too organized to believe he was schizophrenic.   So, where did this theology come from?  Was there some group of crazy people who made it all up, including a central figure who never existed?    [/quote]

historical figures are not needed to form a religion -- e.g., american indian religions and european paganism.  People just dream up this stuff and sometimes a name gets attached to it and sometimes it doesn't.

Also, you don't have to be crazy -- just in search of meaning.

It's immaterial whether Jesus existed or not.  Christianity certainly exists and has been a force in the world for centuries.

If it were proven that there was no Jesus, no crucifixion and no resurrection, Christianity would still probably survive.

It might not thrive, but it's already dying even with a lot of people still believing in it -- just not as many as before.

Since people are no longer burned at the stake for not believing, it's easer to come out as an atheist.[/quote]
