I already linked to an hour long video making the argument he did not exist, as well as an entire site dedicated to that question from another researcher. You have addressed none of the arguments given there.
So you handwaved back instead of providing your own argument from your discernment and perception.
Okay.
Im going to send you the complete Chuck Missler collection and if you dont watch my 72 hours of footage including a list of other experts in mathematics, particle physics, quantum theorists, and ex-atheist mensa prodigies all providing their own proof why the bible is the truth...
"Then you have failed to address the arguments given there."
Sure kid, Ill watch your 1 hour video.
That's right, based on the evidence, it seems
Whoa whoa! It seems???
That sounds pretty factual AND serious.
I think you've just won the argument.
Good show!
So you handwaved back instead of providing your own argument from your discernment and perception.
No, I referred to detailed arguments by experts whose arguments I found convinced. Unless we are experts in our own right, that's going to be our starting point. If there's something you don't agree with, state your reasoning or refer to another who has done the refutation for you. None of this is "handwaving". What you did was handwaving because you referred to a nebulous group that just so happens to agree with your position (or so you claim) without any specific reference, nor did you bother to argue against what I referred to.

Oh, is that the same as a 1 hour video condensed and summarized for a layperson audience? No, it fucking isn't. Your bullshit analogy is garbage.

Sorry to introduce reality into your black and white binary mind, but history is murky. Anybody making absolute claims about the reality of something 2,000 years ago based on scant evidence is deluding themselves.

Lo-fucking-l!
It IS the same as your measley 1 hour video because IT IS EVIDENCE, and there's a lot of it. PLUS these videos ARE dissected and splayed out for the leyman.
Dont be sad you only brought 1 link of a 1 hour video to the trenches and now youre out gunned.
And it seems you dont even understand what a metaphor is because I offered you a "counter-argument". It wasnt a metaphor, it was a warning to you that if were going to debate using the words and findings of others, then you will have MUCH more watching and refuting to do than I will.
If this was a debate on stage or a court case - and you were making your argument (which you did when you posted your 1 hour long video) - and then I got up and made my argument, I would throw all the evidence needed to succeed... Hours and hours of it - all filled with experts and professionals in the fields I outlined before.
Not just ONE 1 hour long video.
Can you imagine basing the meaning of your entire life on a 1 hour youtube video?
You cant just go around picking and choosing which reality you believe in because it has been conveniently condensed and made easily digestible for your feeble 2021 electronic addled brain equipped with limited attention span - you fucking dullard!
Thats downright laughable.

You try so hard to insult me, but its just a rehash of r/atheism edgelords.
Binary mind - ahhh it was a good one, I should feel the sting except the mountain of mushrooms and acid I took in my 20s tells me you're just not happy with yourself and youre lashing out at random people to pass the human time you've deemed as meaningless.
But flip the coin and here I am doing about the same thing - but with love in my heart for you, Im talking like a shithead but I grew up with 5 brothers, so this is normal brotherly behavior.
Maybe were supposed to be talking?
Anyways, give it to me good faggot!
No punches pulled!

Telling me I have to watch 72 hours versus 1 hours is the same thing. Sure thing, jackass.
it was a warning to you that if were going to debate using the words and findings of other
As I said, this is where we all start from unless we're experts. You don't have a counter-argument to that.
then you will have MUCH more watching and refuting to do than I will
No, you're just being unreasonable. I could tell you to read Richard Carrier's book, which punches in at over 700 pages. Instead I linked to an easily digestible 1-hour video that summarizes the main points. If you had a 1-hour video to offer in return, or any reference that attempted to debate Carrier's points, we'd be on even ground. But you're trying to win the argument by acting like a jackass.

I was an atheist many years before I saw this video. Whether Jesus was based on an actual historical figure or not is an intellectual curiosity, nothing more, since I've already rejected the mythology, and what we're left with is debating just how much reality is left once you strip away all the nonsense.
You try so hard to insult me, but its just a rehash of r/atheism edgelords.
I'm not trying hard to insult you. I'm accurately describing your failures that lead to incomprehension of reasonable statements. It was you that decided to try to mock me because I'm not 100% sure about poorly documented events from over 2,000 years ago. You haven't said a single thing of substance.
