As far as the actual human being Jesus, I have no idea if he ever really existed or if his whole life was just a fabrication. Much of the Jesus mythology was duplicated from pre-Christian traditions and isn't unique. I don't put much credibility in the miracle stories. Steve Pavlina [/QUOTE]
Steve, one can not escape the fact that Jesus's life radically altered human history forever. He has been the dominant figure in the history of western culture for 20 centuries. There is enough secular evidence available to show
Jesus of Nazareth occupied this earth some 2006 years ago. Pagan, non jewish historians such as Roman historians Suetonius and Tacitus, Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. His death by hanging was outlined in the Talmud
The devotion of his following was report by a jewish scholar Flavius Josephus 37AD. The New Testment details the martyrdom of his followers as well as His teachings.
