Default Does the fact that Jesus didn't exist prove Christianity?

Surely it can only be by a miracle that billions of people worship a fictional character.

" For there are many deceivers who are come into the world who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-Christ." (2 Jn. 1:7)

Thanks for proving that the Bible is true.

So since it's actually a fact that Jesus did exist then it actually proves Christianity

Jesus did exist. He just wasn't who he said he was.

We do not know, because we were not there. We can only go by personal opinion.

That is not a 'fact' neighbor, that is your belief. The historical evidence is weighted on the side for there indeed being a Jesus.

So since you are claiming it is a fact surely you must have some proof then. Or do you jut go around calling all your beliefs fact regardless of lack of evidence?

Actually the fact is that Jesus did exist. There's not one shred of evidence that he didn't exist. The only reason why Richard Dawkins claims he didn't exist is because he found a way to disprove (in his opinion) the evidence that shows he actually did exist. So according to Dawkins, Jesus didn't exist because there's no reliable evidence that he did...? Hmm.. that's just loaded with fallacies.

It's also a miracle that billions of people used to believe that the world was flat and the center of the universe.

Jesus' existence is dubious at best. The only record of his supposed "existence" comes from the gospels(there are more than four you know, and many have conflicting accounting's) which were conveniently written many many years after his life was supposed to have ended. Prolific Jewish historians from the time make absolutely no mention of a "Jesus of Nazareth" and Paul, in his travels, makes no mention of Jesus' actual life.

The majority of these ideas can be understood best with the viewpoint that Jesus was most likely an allegory of "perfect morality" meant to have fulfilled all the old prophecies ( he didn't by the way). His life was constructed around prevailing mythologies taken from Zoroastrianism, Roman Paganism, and other religions at the time. It was a political tool used to create followers against Roman oppression, but was instead adopted into a Catholic Church, due in part to the auspicious timing of these teachings with the decline of the Roman Empire and the desperate need for solidarity.
