    So instead of taking the glory for themselves like pretty much all other humans they decide to preach about an imaginary friend? Meh… Between “guy who got lost in history” and “bunch of guys that raved about that one gf that went to a different school”, I’ll go with the former as the more plausible one.

    I’ll concede the fact that it’s not the same level of proof as other figures, but all these people writing about him is more than we have about others.

      There are basically four positions you can take about this:

      1. Jesus existed and was crucified
      2. We can’t know, because there is no conclusive evidence, but I think (1) is more likely
      3. We can’t know, because there is no conclusive evidence, but I think (2) is more likely
      4. Jesus is a myth

      I am on (2), as are most historians, and you put yourself on (1).
