Re: Do you believe in the supernatural?

As an agnostic atheist who grew up in a non-religious (well, both my parents were lapsed Catholics) household, I always assumed Jesus existed, but was probably just a cult leader with a small group of followers and Christianity grew around him after his death like he was a piece of grit in an oyster shell.

Except there’s really no way to prove he existed because two millennia of Christian attempts to find (and make) evidence that he was a real person have thoroughly muddied the waters and also, over 2,000 years, there are famous people we know existed because of historical records but don’t have any of their possessions, writings in their own hand, portraits painted from life, etc.

There's one (1) piece of non-Christian, reasonably contempareneous evidence for the existence of Christ that stands up under examination (Josephus mentions 'James, the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ') and even there, it's entirely possible that the "who was called Christ" bit is an interpolation.

It's just really interesting to me, and truly wild how strongly the conventional wisdom says that the existence of Jesus is historically attested compared to the actual evidence.
