I said I thought he did exist; However, i do not think the reports of
eyewitnesses are credible. Of course no Christian, or Eurpoean
questioned the existence of Christ before 1800. You could be torched for
such sentiment. What do you think happend to the European pagans from
the time Christ was born, until now? When you have to threaten people
with death so they won't question you, there is a problem with
credibility. Christians sailors had no trouble thinking St. Elmo's fire
was a good omen, of course until they discovered that all it really
meant was that they were about to get hit by lightning!
No I do not trust sources when they come from people who are known to
manufacture reality to fit what they can't understand. And use torture
and death threats to keep their "believers" in line.
