Did Jesus Actually Exist?

You are lying and it seems to be an obsession.

I found quite a few historians, even though you deny them such quality.

An historical Jesus that drew considerable crowds had to leave traces in history that should be a lot more prominent.

Instead, you have a guy that wrote : I read somewhere that one guy named Yeshu existed.

Quite feeble, in my view.

Oh, I see. You do not think Timur has insulted Ohm by using a picture of Ohm as his avatar.

No I do not, you're just being nasty.

I respect Timur quite a lot, I think he's smart and he's been quite helpful regarding art. He's not someone I'd pick a fight with.

By the way...I defy you to find any such boast...here in A2K or over in Abuzz...anywhere in any of the thousands upon thousands of posts I have made.

That charge by you is a complete fabrication.

I doubt we hear anything else about it, though...because you do not usually acknowledge when you have made a mistake...and apologize for the mistake.

I went a bit too far when said I anyone, but you did just boast about your intelligence to CI, and how you could beat him in an IQ test.

So yes I made a mistake, but it was one of the scale of your boasting. You're not quite as boastful as I had suggested.

I do acknowledge when I make a mistake, but you don't even know when you've made a mistake.

Actually, Frank is boasting all the time.

Not only about IQ but also about all kinds of matters.

He boasts about his "excellent grasp of the English language", having been in a previous life, an editor.

Having read quite a lot of his utterances, and even with my limited skills of your fine language (English), his proficiency didn't strike me as particularly impressive.

On other fields, I consider his knowledge to be average to nonexistent.

This said, he excels in boasting:

If you truly lightened up, and did not take this stuff seriously you wouldn't be someone who periodically gets put on ignore by a lot of people because they just sick and tired of your repetitive nonsense. It's a bit like a radio DJ playing the same song over and over again. There's only so many times one wants to hear it.

In that you are unique, most ignorees are put on for life. You're like someone whose attendance at a party makes the other guests think twice before going. "He's quite nice really, but he can be a bit much, and I don't think I'm in the mood right now to put up with his nonsense. And what's with all the bloody bold print? I think it's a bit sad don't you?"

If I lightened up any more I'd defy gravity.

I still don't even understand why it matters. Myths have been built up around buttloads of historical people. That question is trivial.

Your use of bold print doesn't 'get' to me at all. I was doing you a favour by pointing out it looked ridiculous, but you go ahead. You've never let the thought of appearing ridiculous stop you before.

Just like the issue of the historicity of Shakespeare is trivial.

No scholar doubts the existence of Shakespeare although some doubt he wrote all the plays himself.

And no scholar doubt the historicity of Jesus either.

But they do, that's why this thread exists.
