Frank, there are people out there that would be part of a mass suicide cult, when a comet passes closely by the Earth. There are those who would accept money from terrorist organisations, go out and snort cocaine, and then board planes to crash into various buildings to inflict mass casualties. There are those people that blamed minorities for the failure of an earlier war, and would send those minorities to be slaves in concentration camps as a way to appease a majority of people.

There are all kinds of examples out there of people following bullshit examples of superstition and wildly inaccurate supposition that leads them to committing crazy things. I dare say that a few Christians, who have been around for generations, hundreds of years before Constantine made Christianity an official religion, would have had an impact on creating Christianity from scratch on a made up story about some narcissistic woodworker. The thing is, Christianity did not take off until after the founding of the Americas. Ask the average European, they are not very religious. Aske the average American, they are very religious.

You can imagine that there is an argument that the Americans descended from the first pilgrims were only there because their ancestors were kicked out of Europe for being too religious. Europeans did not generally believe that a Jewish person was endowed with supernatural abilities. And it is commonsense that if you have these supernatural abilities, then it would be difficult to get executed so easily.

MASSIVE historical ignorance there, rocky.
Bbwianesque proportion. TGD proportions.

You obviously do not accept existing proofs accepted by hundreds of millions, so tell us, what kind of proof are you after?

You have a point -
why wasn't there not even a portrait of Jesus?

Why not 100s of them at different stages of his life?
It's a bit weird.

Frank, there is no record of a Jesus of Nazareth -- son of Joseph and Mary -- or whatever name was actually given to some people in Bethlehem in the year 4 BC to AD 4. You have no historical context to even make a claim of the person existing.

I would place your argument in the same context of people who believe Jack and Rose existed on the Titanic, simply because the Titanic existed.

I went to see this exhibition. Too far from Rockhampton but you can still listen to the audio guide.
That Jesus had nothing to do with Horus is just too obvious and your making the "Oh, it's just.." gambit is ignorant to an embarrassing degree.

Well worth a visit, study, reflection.

Yes.

It's almost as if he didn't exist.

Not at all, dishonest turd.

There is lots of written evidence, you just do not accept any of it. The evidence you demand - archaeological, like his sandal, his shroud, wood from the true cross, the menu for the last supper, his birth and death certificate and all the rest of nonsense from the Book of Dan Brown -  doesn't exist for most figures of antiquity so you demand, probably knowingly, complete nonsense.

As for Bobby's idiotic request for hundreds of portraits - they do not exist even for Caiphas or Pilate, much more famous at the time. Jesus and his followers were Jews, so no graven images, anyway.
