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.

    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.
