Blinkers or a microscope ? when we consistantly fail to find absolute evidence, its prudnt to stop looking or look harder, please remember the burden of proof is upon you. Non beleivers aren't making any claims they just want you to stop trying to dictate how they live, according to your religious beliefs.
It is obvious that you know nothing of the spiritual aspect of Jesus today and the way he is very much a part of peoples lives.
No one is claiming to know anything about spiritualism, we have not found solid physical evidence yet. Lets leave the paranormal till later please.
Yes, to you he is a figment of our imagination but to the people who have a relationship with him these sort of threads are like listening to a group of school children trying to explain the big bang. They have no concept of the reality of the subject.
My child had an imaginary friend and I for one admit loud and clear that I had no concept of the relationship he had with his imaginary friend.
Anyway, carry on. I need a little light entertainment sometimes.
It would appear that you find other peoples observation that your religious beliefs were founded on , genocide , infanticide, rape , torture , slavery, bigotry, persecution and mysogani highly amusing.
All the discussion is really about the fact that you would have us believe and follow your religion, we ask notihing more than solid proof not faith or hearsay or combinations of both.
Didn't Pilate need at least some solid proof?
Interestingly enough Pilate didnt seem to notice that he had had cruicfied a living god that could raise the dead , walk on water . turn water into wine , and make blind people see.
He must have been off playing golf or out trying to look impressive cutting down a large tree, when all that happened not to have noticed.
