Are you for real? Do you even realize what you are saying? And the Ossuary? Again, you have got to be kidding me.

Anyway, this is pointless, and I'm tired.

... and I still don't understand what you are trying to say.

In academia, jesus Christ is generally considered to be an actual person, with a small minority espousing the idea of Jesus Christ as a myth

Damn straight. :D

BTW, some of the names on that list are debatable, as to whether or not they existed or not.

You, nor anyone else on Earth, will ever know if that is true or not.

Except, you know, the people that lived with him.

O SHI! They're still around? WHERE?!?!!?



Like the previous poster said, show me something that was written of his miracles during the time he lived. Just because he lived in the "armpit of the Roman Empire" doesn't negate the fact that, if the Romans were so worried about him OR he was walking around and performing ACTUALY MIRACLES, SOMEONE....ANYONE....SOMEWHERE would have written something about him.
