How is it any less than religion?

What? Virtually no historians think Jesus is a mythical figure.

Jesus isn’t real anymore, he lived and died

Even in this case, saying “Jesus loves you” would be equivalent to saying “George Washington love you,” or any other person no longer with us for that matter

George Washington does love me, you’re so right! Thanks for saying that 🥰

I just feel like, with what ive read about this jesus fellow, he doesnt seem the type to enjoy nor endorse violent/aggressive tactics to enforce a belief. He seemed more into being nice to people

He lived, died, was resurrected, and is alive in heaven.

Yeah, no, any possible extrabiblical evidence is scanty and hearsay at best.

Right, but the Bible itself is good evidence, as it was written by real people who wrote about him. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were real and knew him, we also have the letters of St. Peter (which were turned into the two books of the Bible). There’s also writings from historians such as Quadratus, Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius, Lucian of Samosata, and Thallus. We’ve also found archeological evidence of Roman crucifixions and Nazareth existing.

But also, he was a wandering peasant. How many wandering peasants from 2000+ years ago leave evidence of their existence? He wasn’t important to anyone until after he died. So it makes sense there’s no archeological footprint. You don’t have to be a Christian to agree that yeah, a dude named Jesus who grew up in Nazareth was probably real, and was probably killed by the Roman’s in a crucifixion. But wether he is the son of god, the messiah, or magic healing man is up to you

And yet none of those were written until long after, the four gospels are inconsistent and contradictory, and very little is said beyond speculation or what was already established by early Christians that spread around in the same way we know about Greek/Roman myths. Roman crucifixion at the time contradicts biblical account of it as well. I can quote genetic engineering and SpiderMan comics and the places and events in the comics based on real-world ideas, still doesn’t make him real.

Yeah, no. Still don’t have any archaeological proof of him nor anything not originating from the early cult. Time to grow up.

That's not true. What notable historians would agree with you?

Anonymous #1 10w

Some “so and so said and heard it from so and so” is not proof. If some little miracle worker was walking around and had a bunch of followers, we’d have extrabiblical confirmation. Not just “this is what christians believe”. I don’t care if they want to placate to the abrahamic cults, we don’t have any proof of some dude “Jesus”, and definitely none of miracles.

I'll ask again, what significant historians are Jesus mythicists? If there are none, why do you think that you know better than those who have spent their lives studying history?

Speculation to appease cultists≠proof. So, where is the proof?

“[Jesus Christ] certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees, based on certain and clear evidence." Quote from Bart Ehrman, an agnostic biblical historian, who thinks that certain claims, such as the Divinity of Christ, are later additions to the Christan faith and not genuine teachings of Christ Himself. Do you think he said this simply to appeal to Christians? Do you think the other scholars he references also...

engage in the same level of dishonesty? He has a whole book on the subject called 'Did Jesus Exist?', which this quote is taken from.

Anonymous #1 10w

Cool, saying he existed doesn’t make that so. Spider-Man’s got some comics and they have real world inspirations, Spider-Man still isn’t real.

I mean I’d argue any amount of time and energy is kinda too much for this, but also OP is ragebaiting in the comments so it’s not like they just tossed that out there and forgot about it.

Ok, so just to be clear, you think that virtually every competent scholar of antiquity is either mistaken or engaging in dishonesty when it comes to the existence of Jesus of Nazareth? Is that an accurate summary of your position? I don't want to misrepresent you, so if I'm wrong, then please correct me.
