Did Jesus Exist?

ABC news had this interesting article. "Italian Court Told to Prove Jesus Existed: Did Jesus Exist? an Italian Court Delves Into the Issue Amid Dispute Between Atheist, Priest"

I read a little blurb about this on Jamie Arpin-Ricci's blog Emergent Voyageurs. At first I thought this was some sort of joke and then I noticed it was from the ABC news (US).

I wonder how the Italian courts will handle this one? It might be very difficult with fighting the RC church on it's home turf.

Personally, I think there isn't much ground to stand on. I think Jesus has been proven historically already.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Hi,

I think it is not to wise to doubt the existence of Jesus. There were many other man that lived the same kind of live before and even now.

We take Jesus as an example because his vision was stong and is of an infuence of the world today. It is not wise to doubt his existence because it implicates that Jesus was a one of its kind what hides on anger that could damage or supress people with simular qualities.

The only thing that we can doubt are the fantasies that are written the words that are spoken behind his back and the age jesus died.

Kind regards,
