That's so absurd, childish, ridiculous and insulting to anyone who does not share your religion.

You really do believe we are evil, don't you. Stop saying you don't hate is, it's just that you are "forgiven".

JESUS. NEVER. EXISTED.

It's ridiculous to say he never existed. He was written about by the Historian Josehphus, who was not a believer.

He was NOT written about by Josephus. That "Testimonium Flavianum" paragarphy is a later scribble inserted by some monk who was making a copy of his work. It's placed between two paragraphs on an entirely different subject.

If there had been an actual "Jesus" with the virgin birth -- hello, Queen Isis!! -- and triumphal entries and special stars and "miracle cures" with dirt and spittle and earthquakes and walking dead at the alleged crucifixion of this mythological character, there is no doubt that Josephus, of all people, would have been all over it like white on rice. I gave up reading the first part of his "Jewish War" because he apparently knew everyone in the ancient world and I got sick of googling them.

With everything going on in the world why insert some whiney childish commentator ranting on about how Beyonce is possessed by Saaaaataaan because she's not the same person she was before 25 years of fame and fortune and it feels like an alter ego. And that means that we all have to grovel to your imaginary sky prince?

I have to put up with this but I do get sick of my intelligence being insulted. And yes I do fear that we will be the "protected disbelievers" or whatever in some future "Christian America". This doesn't help.

There is one passage which is disputed, and two that are not disputed.
