I have to put a lot of blame for this on the public education system. It is up to the individual to decide as to whether or not Jesus was the son of God, but it just shows pure ignorance when you make question that Jesus existed at all. There are many, many videos available for extra-Biblical evidence of Christ's existence. He was a real person, living on this Earth--it's up to you to decide what you want to do with Him. Is Jesus Lord, Liar, or Lunatic. He can only be one of those three, and I choose to acknowledge that He is my Lord and Savoir!
Did You Know? Peter, one of Jesus' twelve disciples, a sailor, swordsman and writer of many New Testament books actually denied even knowing Jesus? It's true. This man was skillful enough with his sword to cut off the ear of the high priest's servant, he promised Jesus that he would never leave his side, and most sources say that he was an aggressive disciple who hoped to help Jesus establish His kingdom immediately on Earth through any means necessary. Yet, when the soldiers came Jesus forbade Peter to fight against them--Matthew 26:52. Instead of fighting, Peter and all of the rest of Jesus' crew ran off like little bitches into the night--by his own account, Mark was such a little chickenshit that he ran off buck naked! Mark 15:51-52. In short, they had just been served. It was later in the camp that Peter actually denied Jesus Mark 14:66-72. The best soldier, the guy itchin' for a fight is backing down like he was a eunuch or a liberal Democrat that wouldn't even stand up to a little harlot girl because he and the rest of the disciples, knew that if they were arrested they would be executed too.
But, what happened after the resurrection? When they meet the resurrected Jesus all of the disciples got their balls back. They grew iron spines and preached the word of God to all the ends of the known Earth. They became fearless and they knew that their own lives didn't matter nearly as much as spreading the Good News! If Jesus did not come back from the grave, then why did these cowardly, borderline homers suddenly decide to stand up? Would it be in your nature to walk into the lion's den on your own accord? It was God's will that these men stand for, and in many cases give their lives so that we all know of Jesus' sacrifice.
Then we have little punks like you that are so self-centered and foolish that they can't even acknowledge that the men existed.
