Was Jesus an Historical Figure?

Was Jesus an Historical Figure?

Jesus Christ is the most influential figure on the planet, with more than 2 billion worshippers worldwide and many more who fondly study his teachings. But what if he never existed? Many skeptics have posed this very question, and while true believers scoff at such suggestions, the debate is far from resolved. Jesus may have changed the world, but did he really walk the Earth?

    Organized religion destroys everything

    First, science knows that a virgin birth is possible and shows that you follow the 'what's happening now" crowd of science.

    Second, there have been more than 100 million people murdered since 1900 with the majority killed by evolutionists like Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pot, etc. Should we disavow evolution and it's follower's because of this.

    Your persepective shows your "don't let the facts get in the way of my opinions" philosophy.

      I guess I didn't take enough Science Courses.
      So let me re-state my understanding of this very odd situation.....
      I was led to believe(Catholic) that an Angel appeared
      to tell the "Virgin" she was to Carry the
      Boy Child/Jesus(God's son). And so she did?
      Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....I CAN believe that she (Blessed Virgin Mary,)
      WAS, at some point, a Virgin. We "all" are a Virgin at some point in our life.
      Not to mention all of the Murders committed by MISSIONARY Folk.
      The My God is better than your God, theory.....
      Yes, there have always been Mad "Men" on the earth, who love to kill.....
      Evolutionist does not equal/mean Murder just as Christianity does not equal/mean murder BUT
      many DO kill in the name of their Christian belief.
      I'm a Militant Agnostic...i don't know and neither do you.
      The Mystery of it ALL.
