He's real. Get yo facts straight! :x
His "facts" (religion) could be different than yours you know. :?
Sigh, again with this Jesus myth? Honestly, can't we go one secular thread without bashing religion? And you're wrong, Jesus, the historical figure is indeed real. The textual case for the historical Jesus is orders of magnitude stronger than the one for the historical Alexander the Great. In fact, there are no primary sources for Alexander and the most trustworthy of the five secondary-sources was written by Arrian approximately 470 years after Alexander's death. I don't see ANYONE question his existence let alone any top historical scholar I know who does. Jesus, however is back up by more evidence than our friend Alex above and the fact is as Graham N. Stanton it, "Today nearly all historians, whether Christians or not, accept that Jesus existed and that the gospels contain plenty of valuable evidence which has to be weighed and assessed critically. There is general agreement that, with the possible exception of Paul, we know far more about Jesus of Nazareth than about any first- or second century Jewish or pagan religious teacher."
