I see no proof

It is easy to speak down play any religion based on faith. There are so many ways to show However agnostics have no answers. I have been reading all these sites from agnostics and have not seen one shred of evidence that Jesus never existed. I have just finished the book "What is so Great about Christianity," written by Dinesh D'Souza. I would challenge you to read it. The Christian church was started in Rome by Saint Peter in A.D. 42. There is no mention anywhere of the term Christian before this time period.

Totally wrong

The claims made in this article are obviously by an uninformed sceptic whose bias prevents them from looking at facts as they are. Firstly, millions of historical documents from the time, including the Bible, attest to a literal person, Jesus. Dispelling these as myths is ridiculous. Firstly, they make every claim to be real and true. In the culture of the time, a lie was punishable by death and such an obviously blasphemous claim would never have survived. The gospel accounts were written 30-40 years after Jesus' claimed death; the same people were still alive. They could have easily destroyed these documents; yet the Bible remains the most historically verified document, with more copies and verification than plato, aristotle, or any other author. Secondly, as C. S. Lewis says, "they have not the mythical flavor". While still an agnostic, Lewis recognized that the factual claims the gospels make by including names, dates, and numbers and their matter-of-fact tone proved that they were not mythical. Additionaly, Christianity has not arisen over the last 2,000 years; this is a modern misconception. Historical "Christianity" is inteded as an extention of ancient Judaism, a religion which goes back as far as can be dated. Jesus himself is the fufillment of Old Testament, Jewish prophecies and quotes the Old Testament numerous times. This has simply gotten confused in modern times with modern Judaism; essentialy, historical Judaism which stopped its history with the arrival of Jesus and denies his divinity. Finally, it is not true that Christianity makes no new claims. It is the only religion offering a God who would die for his people, the only one offering faith-based, not works-based, salvation, and the religion with the strongest historical basis. Correlations between it and pagan myths are merely indicative that the events involved actually occured; the story of Noah and the Ark occurs in Christian and Pagan texts in some form, but it is biased to assume that Christianity was only copying a myth originating in Pagan theology. In conclusion, my only suggestion to the author would be to educate themself on the subject before even attempting such preposterous claims.
