Popular atheist leaning New Testament Scholar Bart Erhman (author of "Misquoting Jesus" ) admits Jesus Copycat theorists are mostly just in their imagination."The alledged parallels between Jesus and the "pagan" savior-gods in most instances reside in modern imagination: We do not have accounts of others who were born to virgin mothers and who d ...[text shortened]... ized versions)."

Of course Bart Ehrnan thinks Jesus existed. Why wouldn't he? Who here thinks He didn't exist as far as you are aware?
Originally posted by @fmfI see you’re at the start of another OCD- and ADHD-fueled question-asking marathon. Has the twitching, heavy breathing and panting kicked in yet?
So, you had two stabs at answering 'Who in the this community do you think believes that Jesus didn't exist?' and your answer is still not clear.
Originally posted by @sonshipWhat criticism? I asked you a question. You asked us to look at something called "Did Jesus Exist?"and then another thing called "Did Jesus Exist?" by a different person. And so, naturally, the question follows as to who you think here thinks Jesus did not exist? I think twhitehead used to think along those lines sometimes, but he isn't here anymore. "Did Jesus Exist?" "Did Jesus Exist?" "Did Jesus Exist?" Who is claiming that He didn't?

Moving on now. Don't stay there too long.

Along with these you should also take to confessing to the Lord Jesus your tendency to want to insert words into the mouths of Christians with whom you have disagreements.

I did not create the title.
I sought to link to a Youtube and simply quote the title as it appeared.

If so (disputing Christ's existence) the video would have been good for them as well as those who just hold to Jesus - pagan recyled myth theories.
It also would be a good video for people under the persuasion of the Internet "non-existent Jesus" sites who may be HEADED in that direction.
I have no stats for you.

That means

Difficulty or ease of obtaining is secondary.
