    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.
