(pokes finbeast) though i'm a happy agnostic meatball, i'll have to say otherwise. the historical jesus did exist, anyway. Cornelius Tacitus (20 - 117) was a non-Christian Roman who wrote a book on Roman history and mentioned a man as "Christus".
"Christus, the founder of the name, had undergone the death penalty in the reign of Tiberius, by sentence of... Pontius Pilate, and the pernicious [or wicked] superstition [Christianity] was checked for a moment, only to break out once more, not merely in Judea, the home of the disease, but in the capital [Rome] itself, where all things horrible or shameful in the world collect and find a vogue."
took the words right outta my mouth marien...was indeed a historically documented person and was indeed put to death by the at that time common practice of crucifixion...whether or not you affiliate that with anything religious or spiritual is up to you...
