I question whether he ever existed. Without the bible, there would not be enough evidence for a historian to consider him a real historical character.

The ONLY evidence of his existence is a ancient religious text, appended to another very dubious book (Adam and the apple, people turning into pillars of salt, floods that cover the earth, etc). That's all I'm saying.

While it is unlikely, given the timeframe involved , that Jesus was totally made up, it's definitely possible.

There's a good chance I'm smarter than Sklansky. Does that mean I'm right?
