I am really sorry if this has been posted before.
If you knew me in person, you would know I love getting into discussions with people about religion. One of the questions that seems to keep coming into the discussion loop is Jesus.
So I was at a social gathering the other night at a restaurant and I dropped my silverware and out of habit I said "Jesus Christ!" And a random girl that was a friend of a friend said, "Don't use the Lords name in vain."
So obviously we got into a debate.
I brought up the point in the discussion that Jesus never existed. Well everyone looked at me like i was off the wall insane...
At that point the discussion just turned into incoherent ramblings and Grrrr... So frustrating that people base their whole life on hearsay! Simply dumbfounding!!!
Help me feel better... seriously.

I think the point that needs to be made is that whether or not he did exist as a carbon based, flesh and bone product of this planet as we... That OUR point is we don't believe in the majestic unicorn riding apostles of fear that the gospel tries to shove down our free-thinking throats everyday.
As an atheist, I feel this question is not entirely irrelevant, but is a little rhetorical amongst our mindset (no offense, Sophie). Maybe it's just I who perceieves it that way, but just putting in my two- to three-cents.
Live well, you free-thinking defectors :P
And they would still be known as Jews today. Jesus would be incorporated into their Bible. They also would be worshipping the Messiah instead of still looking for him.
Really, if the resurrection story depicted in the bible is true, and Jesus made such a feeble, undocumented showing, being omniscient, ominpresent, and omnipotent, then I prefer not to follow him. He would have to be an idiot not to show himself in grand fashion. Why not just march up to the Temple on Resurrection day? Why not just walk down Main Street in Jerusalem so everyone can see you? Why not walk right up to Pontius Pilate and embrace him?
i think he existed, but not with any magical powers
maybe just a little high on charisma :)
i think they found some evidence of his existence, like the cave where his body was put after the crucifixion.
and the robe he was wearing with some blood on it
you should check in to it
maybe get a documentary from national geographic about Jesus, savior or myth ^^
