Glad you can recognise that as a separate question though. :thumbup:


Thanks. I think my position on the issue is that while I am willing to accept that a historical Jesus existed, in the absence of any evidence of any kind of divinity or continuance of life after he had died, I don't really care if he existed. Sure, this man did a great amount to shape the way that billions of people live their lives, but it doesn't affect me all that much as to whether I will follow the religion. Whether he existed or not - and I'm not doubting that he did in saying this - the belief in his eternal divinity is just rubbish.

This also doesn't mean that I am indifferent to people spreading falsehoods and lies about the reality of whether he existed.
