You’re kinda being a dick about it though, honestly.

Jesus definitely existed, there are historical records of him and his crucifixion. The Romans were good at records and government and shit.

Whether he was a mystical being, debatable (by others, I don’t believe in space wizards except Jedi) but frankly your approach here is just as vile as the dude you’re arguing with.

What’s super gross is you’re othering them based on their religion.

Yeah yeah I suck, get in line and take a number.

Better tell these losers. Not a single one noticed his existence until after the Mark Gospel was written and widely published. Not a single shred of contemporary evidence, an inconsistent biography, a story that even removed supernatural events stretches plausibility to the breaking point.

there are historical records of him and his crucifixion.

Very well show me the contemporary record.

The Romans were good at records and government and shit.

Which makes it even worse. They were good at it and yet the records for Jesus aren't there. The first Roman official that even mentions the Christians was after they had been around for decades and he doesn't even seem to know what rank Pilot had.

Oh shit 60 years of the events isn’t contemporary enough.

Hannibal didn’t exist either, I guess.

Yes sixty years isnt contemporary. I am not a contemporary of LBJ or Dr. King or Malcom X, I am not wearing tight bellbottom jeans or worrying about the Soviet Union nuking me. I am not mourning JFK. Nor am I protesting US military action against Charlie by burning my draft card.

Noticed how even people in the area at the time didn't see anything? I gave you a chart did you even bother looking at it?

Hannibal didn’t exist either, I guess.

Misdirection, stay on topic. Why can't you prove that your zombie was real?

Enjoy your fight my dude.

I don’t believe in the resurrection nor do I believe in any of this except for the idea that people ought to be allowed their own beliefs AND your language of othering that dude is fucking gross.

You can pat yourself on the back, you’ve won the argument you think you’re having with me the same way a skunk does.

Tolerance isn't the same thing as acceptance. I tolerate religious beliefs, I don't accept them without evidence. Just because I believe it should be legal for people to believe in 20 century old con by James and Paul about a made up figure doesn't mean I accept it as true and don't call it out.

Sorry the evidence didnt back up your claims today.
