very wrong as an atheist i have no conflict i had assumed for a long time that an historical jesus was well established that made no difference to my dismissal of the magical element to the story on the other side every xian has their entire lifetime faith invested in the historicity of this one character it's little wonder that impartiality and rigorous academic method is lacking from theologians after investing some time on the subject it turns out there is no reliable historical evidence for the historicity of jesus if there were a grain of truth to his 'miraculous' existence there would've been massive contemporary and corroborating evidence but there isn't there's simply testimony from decades later christian poetry and some heavily interpolated writing jesus' existence is simply a massive assumption that is perpetuated by xian apologists
