Well, not being Christian (as I stated earlier) I'm not really comfortable being an apologist for them except to say that if one is going to demand unequivocal proof from one, one should demand unequivocal proof from all (this was the point of the Wicco/Pagan argument -- I never said *you* personally were either). Frankly, I can't think of a single spiritual path off the top of my head that is not founded on some critical tenet (or set of tenets) that is unprovable, if not unknowable.
Now, in short, the gist of what I was trying to say is that despite the fact that I am not Christian, I'm perfectly comfortable with the idea that Jesus existed, albeit probably not in the form that we have come to know about him in the 21st century.
Now, if you want to continue this discussion which has taken a decidedly ad hominem sort of twist that I'm not particularly happy with, I'm happy to do so in private and get it out of William's comments log.
William has my personal email address. Ask him for it. I'm happy for you to have it.
