Historicity of Jesus
I think you should update you're knowledge of Cgristian scholars. Try James Dunn or Larry Hurtado; they're pretty sure Jesus existed; they're also pretty sure that the essence of Christianity is not in a literal reading of the sources, but in the notion that God doesn't give up on His creation. I'm an atheist myself, but I find their understanding inspiring; I can understand, feel, the excitement of today's celebration: He's alive - that is, love will trump hate. And that's not different from Buddhism, I think. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk!  06:01, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
