Religion in America...

The existence of a historical Jesus doesn't necessarily support the biblical portrayal of Jesus, particularly (but not only) on issues of divinity.

1. Sources?

2. Why or why not?

1. Sources?

2. Why or why not?

1. The KJV is a good starting point.

2. It's falls upon the believers of the divine to offer evidence supporting their beliefs.

I can't help you read. Caligula, Julius Caesar and Genghis Kahn didn't exist either then right? 9/11 a sham too?
I don't know what to say. I guess when your mind is made up its made up.

I have read many books referencing these historical figures. I've also read a lot about religion and Jesus. That still doesn't make Jesus an historical figure, certainly not divine. Caligula, Julius Caesar, and Genghis Khan all show up in records from their times. We have records mentioning them by name. Nothing is written about Jesus except for and from the Bible, which is a third person account written many decades after he supposedly lived. Actually, I believe Jesus may well have been a real person. We can't however prove that, and you cannot prove he was divine.

And here is the kind of story you find if you look for it. Speculation based on faith that he existed...

Sorry atheist orgy's are not my thing but you guys go ahead and enjoy your little group lov'n, at least you won't have to concern yourselves with God's wrath, although knowing Quagga's involved I'd wear some protection. Peace!

I'm far from an atheist.

In fact, the Mayan religion believes in many Gods.

I don't think they approve of many gods either.
