Claims Christ never lived

"...an atheist who claims that Christ never lived and none of the accounts of the Bible are true. 'Show me the facts!' was his refrain." - GGE of the Moron Horde

I wonder if this doubter had actually read and studied the only reliable historical records. Reading Matt, Mark, Luke, and Jack persuaded me, and that was during The Passover Plot days, when 'Jesus never existed' was very pop.

An agnostic can dialog, listen, learn, and most atheists seen to be ill-informed agnostics, when pressed. (My usual line: that god you describe? I wouldn't believe that, either.)

But, doesn't matter whether the hard-core atheist reads anything; zealotry and dogmatism are not exclusive to religions. Those who are simply contrary for contrariness's sake won't be persuaded by theologizing, either. Even Jesus himself couldn't reform Judas.

But for a genuine truth-seeker, willing to be shown, M,M,L, & J are highly recommended. YMMV
