Alright I'm asking some very hands down arguements for this particular website: http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/, which makes it statement as the address suggests, that "Jesus never existed."
The thing is that Christianity cannot be blind to the truth (this is, after all, what Jesus teaches, yes?), therefore we have to accept world history and events before the Christian religion, scary enough, there have been religions that have pre-dated the time of Jesus and that all revolved around a "savior-god", even priests know this very well.
How do we know that Christ was not just a myth? It's very hard to accept the idea that "Christ is the true living messiah" when there were so many before him and so similiar in acheivements, Mithraism is the closest to them all, Mithras was known as the good sheperd, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Mithras had 12 disciples, he was represented by the lion and the lamb, when it comes down to it, Mithra is too close in resemblance with Jesus it makes you wonder what went on during his supposed lifetime.
On the contrary, the evidence provided by skeptics is not conclusive, just as many theists and Christians have turn astray and have become deceitful, atheists too, have become very strong in preaching deceit, what Ken Humphrey missed were quite a few things, let's list them:
1) In his article showing the messianic cults and religions before Christianity (and he goes on to show many pictures of virgins and savior-god childs, or the soon-to-be "Holy Virgin Mary with child") he brings up something that he doesn't explore into completely, he states that the many religions before Christian doctrine had always preached "brotherly love" but this of course was not always said in the New Testament, "for you have heard it said: you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy, but I say unto you, that you shall love your neighbor, and pray for those who persecute you."
2) He goes on in another section of his to say how the disciples were fictatious fabrications just as he makes his points with Jesus being fictious, especially Judas, he tries to explain and validate how everyone tried to make Judas into the bad guy and therefore was just a myth, but I don't believe that he has ever made an observation of what is known as the "Gospel of Judas", the only piece of writing that actually makes for Judases' defense and makes him seem like the 'good-guy', being that this is the only writing in his defense, how is it Judas was a myth, that doesn't even make sense.
3) Paul set out to do brainwashing when he was writing letters telling everybody to acknowledge the Holy Spirit and to let him guide you? That all men are created equal under the same god??????
Today Christianity is a major world religion, allot of people are following it's fundamental teachings and speaking of the "life-changing" experiences, and throughout the world you see much is associated with the very name: Jesus Christ, why? It sounds too unbelieveable, Christ is too similiar of a figure to even rationally except that he existed and was the Son of God or any different from any other pagan savior or Persian/Greek idol, so I'm hoping that there are Christians that can be up to this challenge of explaining this logically, yes?

). But what I will do is explain the mindset of such people and address some points of the author's arguments with logical questions that illustrate just how illogical the author's views really are.
