‘All true philosophers should keep their eyes open. Even if we have never seen a white crow, we should never stop looking for it. And one day, even a skeptic like me could be obliged to accept a phenomenon I did not believe in before.

Is the Bible the only historical evidence that Jesus called the Christ
ever lived on earth?

Communists taught that Jesus never even existed. Are Christians foolishly
relying on a made-up story about a Jesus that never even existed? Do Christians
believe that Jesus exists or existed only because “the Bible says so” or
are there other reasons for believing in Jesus’ existence?

Well, actually, Jesus is mentioned by early historians who were not
Christians. Let’s see what we can learn from them about Jesus.

Did early Christians borrow ideas from pagan cults to form the basis of the Christian beliefs?

There were stories in the ancient world about gods dying and rising again. Is it possible that the founders of Christianity just invented a story about a deity, Christ, who also did these things? Is that how the story of the death and resurrection of Christ came to be written? Was the story of Christ just another legend like one of these stories?

There are big differences between these stories and the story of Jesus Christ.

Hi Mr. Fackerell,

Here’s a brief response to “Faith in Atheistic Philosophy. Is it so smart?”:

In your page, you claim that atheists cannot know that God exists, because they do not have perfect knowledge of all things. However, one does not necessarily need perfect knowledge of all things to prove a universal negative.
