Reply #21: Actually, there are biblical scholars who doubt he existed. [View All]

And many biblical scholars have found that the very few possible extrabiblical references to Jesus in antiquity are either incomplete, don't mention Jesus but rather Christians (which is not evidence that he existed, but that people calling themselves Christians existed) or - as in the case of Josephus - are completely fabricated. Remember, these are people who have a vested interest in NOT disputing the biblical assertion that he existed.

(As far as the swipe at trotsky, you're way off, because he's not named after THAT Trotsky.)
