[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are documented accounts of Jesus as early as the first century. Scholars at the time did not debate his existence. But I suppose if you’re an atheist on here no answer is good enough so it’s an easy way to pile it on. [/quote]

[b]I have no issue with research that Jesus was a historical person.  [/b]That does appear to be fairly well accepted by scholars.  But obviously, that he likely existed says nothing at all about anything else.  [/quote]

I do. There are no first-hand reports and many sources are sketchy.

Do you believe Socrates was a real person?[/quote]

There are multiple independent historical accounts of Socrates' existence from his contemporaries.  These accounts come from people in different professions (other philosophers, poets, playwrights, etc) and range from favorable to openly hostile. [/quote]

Besides, people aren't expected to worship Socrates or pray to him or give money to his earthly representatives or believe that he can grant eternal life.  People can reject his teaching if they want to, without any consequences.[/quote]
