” but he has since recognized and conceded the mainstream academic consensus that a historical preacher from Nazareth did walk the earth.Dawkins’ View on the Historical JesusAccepts a human teacher: Dawkins agrees that an itinerant Jewish preacher named Jesus lived in the first century and was eventually crucified.”
” Virtually all professional historians, whether Christian or atheist (such as prominent New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman), agree that Jesus was a historical figure.Mythicism minority: The idea that Jesus never existed at all is treated as a fringe theory by mainstream historians, which is why Dawkins faced criticism from both believers and secular historians for previously suggesting it was a serious academic debate.”
It’s the same case with the Roman persecution, for which also there is no evidence. Christianity continues to exert the acceptance, without evidence, of historical fictions, including over the minds of non-Christians.
Not to say there was no Jesus, only that there is no evidence of such a person at all. He thus stands in the same relation to Santa Claus, or Conan the Barbarian. I’m sure there were barbarians with the name Conan.
If scientific evidence for God came to light, we would have to accept it. Doesn’t history deserve the same consideration?
