    I’m not Christian and I couldn’t care less if Jesus really was a guy.

    Your obsession over this is pretty weird. This is not something that scholars are actively debating over.

    Ehrman is an agnostic atheist and one of the most renowned experts in the field of theology. He’s definitely not a Christian circle jerk.

    I can fully understand that you don’t agree on this. But you can’t be this upset and this much and

    Trash like this is decidedly insulting to people with intelligence

    Guess the majority of experts who devoted their lives to this issue are less intelligent than you then.

      Do you care that Israel is destroying lives in Gaza?
      Well I do, and similarly I care that false religions are destroying lives and families with superstition all over the world.
      And the only kind of religion there is, is false religion, because if it were true it would not be religion.

      Why don’t you care?

        You’d be kicked out of highschool debate at this point, but okay.

        Did you actually read what I said? Jesus being a real historic person and not being a son of the God or whatever Christians believe him to be is not mutually exclusive.

        This is not the way to be critical about Christianity(or anything, really). If anything, you’re making it worse.

          There still isn’t any evidence of his existence either way. And believing he existed without being the son of God, kind of makes even less sense than if you were actually a Christian. Because being a delusional Christian has it’s own inherent logic.

          Believing his existence despite the lack of evidence without being a Christian doesn’t make the least bit of sense.
          It’s beyond reason, it’s like saying you believe in god, you just don’t believe he has any powers. It simply doesn’t make any sense from a rational standpoint.

          As I stated early on, it’s as naive as believing the Greek demigods were real. They have somewhat similar stories, and similar lack of evidence of being real. But you might as well say they were probably real, they just weren’t demigods.

          It’s also akin to believe some guy named Santa Claus live on the North Pole, he is just not bringing gifts every Christmas.

          You’d be kicked out of highschool debate at this point, but okay.

          Based on what? Religious fanaticism maybe? I don’t see how Christian intolerance should be a good point against me in this debate.
