Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 months agoA bunch of the books in the new testament are letters written by Jesus’s followers. We can’t prove whether they really are that, but they all agree that a dude named Jesus existed. If a bunch of people all wrote about a guy they knew, and most of the details match, that guy probably was real.

Yeah I’m not arguing with that. You’re just nitpicking semantics because you have lost this argument. Literally the very next sentence after the one you quoted I qualified that by saying it’s debatable.

What?
So you’re arguing that “anything is possible” and that means you “won” if someone can’t prove something isn’t real?
You can’t prove I’m not 6 year old baby Jesus on a time traveling Blackberry…
But anyone that believes that doesn’t have a rationally sound mind.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but man, let it drop. The person who’s fighting for ridiculous improbabilities here is you. Nobody you’re arguing with in this thread is even making a claim that Magic Jesus existed. Just that the man named Jesus who is talked about by the early Christians likely existed (which is scholarly consensus, not even a niche claim). They’re specifically not claiming that the fantastical claims made by the early Christians about that man are true.
