accounts of his life and teachings came from several very separate sources and were similar enough to reasonably assume that this person existed. For example, the Sermon on the Mount has some slight differences in different books of the Bible, but it would be like you and I describing the same concert...there would be a few differences in the way we perceived it, but it's close enough.

But the question of whether or not he existed is as valid as whether or not the Holocaust happened. In other words, it's silly -there is plenty of historical evidence that Jesus existed but we live in a generation of people who can't wrap their brains around anything if it isn't on DVD. And trust me, once everyone is dead who remotely remembers the Holocaust, half the population will not believe it ever happened and will say the evidence is photoshopped.

But the whole argument is so ridiculous...SOMEBODY said these beautiful (and very LIBERAL, by the way) things...so who was it, then? And does it matter that he really wasn't born of a virgin or walked on water?
