Hang on... whether you right or wrong saying the doubters aren't worth listening to is just foolishBesides, apart from historical interest, the question of Jesus's existence as a human being is largely irrelevant. The real question is whether or not he was he the son of god and the personification of god in mortal form, who was sacrificed for the sins of mankind to give salvation to our souls.
Which I tend to presume he wasn't.

It's pretty relevant to Christians,I don't know why atheists go to such lengths to make such a point because the existence of Jesus the man is hardly proof of the whole of Christian doctrine.

But Christians do spend a lot of time pinning their entire doctrineon the belief that a bloke name Jesus existed as if that was proof in of itself even though there is no hard evidence to say he did exists and respected historians do name a few other people who at the same time and the same region proclaimed themselves as The Messiah or Prophet of God.

I don't much care for what this sort of Christian gets up to, to be honest,but respected historians generally accept the historical existence of Jesus as a person based on the evidence that exists. Yes there were other Messiah claimants, if anything these lend the story essential credibility.

I agree with thisI'm really not bothered whether there is or isn't evidence for a charismatic but severely schizophrenic man named Jesus who live around 2000 years ago. It has no bearing on there not being a god.
