Don't just pull such statements as "He may not even have existed" out of your backside. The issue of Jesus as a historical being is not new, has been researched by innumerable professional and academic historians, and the overwhelming majority of them argue for his existence despite the fact that few of them believe in him in any religious way.
But you seem to have lost it a bit here, Chora was merely not ruling out a possibility - something you admit that some historians also do
Your comments smack of a fanatical skeptic--and frankly, of someone who isn't actually interested in seeing what anyone who actually knows what he/she is talking about has to say.
No it doesn't, if you reread what he said without losing your temper, you will see that he is merely being open minded ont he issue
I don't fault you for your ridiculous statement (what a keen grasp of the obvious you have. This example of your reasoning is truly comic.) as much as I regret the way you make pronouncements and steer people away from substantive discussion. You are just some fellow on the Internet who really doesn't know the issues involved (or if you do know you choose to act otherwise--also problematic)but who wants to influence people anyway.
All Chora did was make a sensible statement, from a scientific stand point, the way you reply sugests to me thet the real problem you have here is a dislike of science and you have allowed this to affect your reasoning here
If you don't have a substantive contribution--avoid the discussion or ask someone who does.
He made a very valid contribution to my question, thank you
Don't bother to respond to my post. I'm not interested in your sophistry or ego-centric justification of your ridiculous comment. I'm going to spend my time with people who are actually interested in addressing important issues.
