I think the point here is that you're willing to accept the historical evidence that is necessary to prove the existence of many figures, and you will completely disregard the lack of primary sources of writings, but when it comes to acknowledging the historicity of Jesus, you're quick to dismiss it wholesale as myth ... which is something that not even Doherty, the most prominent proponent of your position, does.
Oh, hey Dooby, I see you haven't given up.

First off, you're assuming I 'believe' Alexander the Great existed. While I do, you can't know that. Fact is, from what I've read (which is precious little), I have no reason to doubt that Alexander the Great lived. I DO however have reason to doubt that Jesus existed. That's the difference.

If someone came up to me and said, "Alexander the Great never existed. He was a made up figure. Here's why I think this. These are very good reasons, do you agree?" Then I would weigh the facts and determine if I thought it was a correct statement or not. I've had no one challenge the existence of Alexander the Great. I have however seen many people that challenge the fact that Jesus existed and that have some good ****ing arguments. They expose the lie quite effectively. I love seeing Christians back stroke and stutter when they try to explain the 'inconsistencies'.

Still waiting on that 'mountain of evidence'. Anything you can provide has already been disputed and disproved. My job is too easy here. All you can do is argue until you get backed into the 'faith' corner and you know it. You can sputter and poke your holy nose up and pontificate all you like, but in the end you're left looking like an idiot and worshiping an imaginary man because you're scared of the 'Debil'.

I'm just kidding.

I don't believe in God, on account of not being stupid. Don't believe me?

Did I mention **** you and your so-called beliefs?

Sincerely,

Why would you seek to deny God's love when it is evident everywhere? God loves you like your mother and father love you. They love you unconditionally regardless if you screw up or not. Take the love your family has for you and mutiply it by millions, and you still would not even have a glimpse of what God's love is. For it is eternal and unconditional.

You sure about this?

I was under the impression Egypt kept pretty good records of who was in charge.

Yes, I'm pretty sure about that (we might have some minor accounts prior to that, but definitely nothing substantial until many centuries after his death ... except, of course, Alexandria, which is quite substantial in and of itself). If there were records, they've since been lost. The Romans weren't exactly friendly to Greek history. The records might have been in the library when it was destroyed.

What we have is an account that was written 400 years after his death. And that account is supposed to be a copy of an account that was supposed to have been written 100 years after his death.

I respect the fact that you have not believed in Jesus Christ yet. I will pray that the Lord will soften your heart someday so you can allow him to enter in you.

I can imagine Sipher getting off while quoting scripture and parables.

I have no problem with religion, most of my family is.
But you have gone from faith to downright masturbation.

I'm not angry. Did you have something to contribute or did you just want a little taste of Dooby's cock?

I am simply expressing my beliefs which are from the Bible and ideas I have formulated based upon the Bible that I can only imagine was given to me by the Holy Spirit.

How have I gone from faith to masturbation?

If you returned to this thread and said that you didn't believe Alexander the Great existed, then I would have interpreted that as an concession.

What's your reason to doubt that Jesus existed, and why don't your reasons apply to the existence of Alexander the Great?

Please elaborate on the inconsistencies, and explain how they're relevant to the historicity of Jesus.

Again, you already know what I'm going to post, and I already know that you have some copy/paste bull**** from the Rational Response Squad ready and waiting to be posted as some sort of "clever" rebuttal.

But if you're actually serious, then I would advise you to read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

By who? Some 30yr schmucks with an online radio show that they do in their mom's basement? Or maybe some biologists, physicists, and other members of academia that don't understand the disciplines of ancient historians, and how they differ from modern historians? Find me a credible ancient historian that "disputes and disproves" the evidence.

I'm an atheist (I have never expressed otherwise in these forums) and I don't worship Jesus. Let's talk about "assumptions" again, you stupid ****.

That makes sense. It does seem that infinity is the secular version of eternity -- in a sort of convoluted way. The 'big bang' being an alternative to creationism, existence preceded by a single moment before time, matter, energy, and space.

I'm not attempting to provide an opinion, just an observation.

You asked alot of interesting questions. Are you a believer or do you seek to become on?

It is mentioned in the Bible about converting others. I believe Jesus says something along the lines of do not be afraid for, the Holy Spirit will enter in you and give you what is needed for you to teach.

After Jesus ascended the apostles went and tried to convert others and when the Pharisees heard of this they investigated them and noticed that though the apostles seemed "uneducated" they were extremely educated in terms of the Word of God, much like Jesus himself was.

Oooo - Who's angry now!?! *poke*poke*

Fact is, I'm not doing your google work for you. You know exactly what 'inconsistencies' I'm talking about (or you're not as well read as you pretend).

Some of them, maybe (much like the guys that wrote the wiki you linked but with colored shirts and no ties). Probably chaps your ass that these same '30yr schmucks' have your ****ing number.

If your argument is 'Other historical figures probably existed so Jesus probably did' then you should just stop now.

It's my sons birthday today, so I'll go hang out with him, eat cake, and throw a football with him. I'll be back later and we'll see if we can narrow this down a bit. I'm arguing that Jesus was a myth. You're saying... what? Just that he may have lived? What about the rest of the myth? Are you backing into the corner and saying 'that whole walk on water thing may have been bull****, but he was a real man dammit, a real man I tell you!'

If you're just asserting that he may have lived and not taking the 'magical messiah' stance then this argument is pointless (though you'd still lose simply due to your inability to prove jack ****).

I've been surrounded by theists and atheists. I see both sides. I also see they have more in common than they have differences. The differences are always the more dramatic and emotional (hence the most interesting to debate). However, if you step outside and look-in, they are both attempting to resolve the same metaphysical and existential questions. Often the resulting study is driven by linguistics and methodology rather than whether the final outcome is true or false.

I realize it sounds like I'm just rambling a bunch of nonsense, but it's the only way to summarize the conflict between such abstract and axiomatic ideas; typically the base similarities outweigh the differential details.
