Am I crazy? Now before you jump to the quick answer, let me quantify that statement. Hasn't it already been proven pretty much beyond a shadow of a doubt that the man, Jesus of Nazareth actually lived on this earth somewhere around 2000 years ago? If so, then explain this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060127/ap_on_re_eu/did_jesus_exist
Now I don't care what religion you are(unless you're a scientologist... they're just plain nutjobs). you can worship at the altar of Jessica Alba if you wish, and I won't look at you weird. And if you don't subscribe to a particular religion or think it's all "hoo-ey" as my friend's mom used to say, that's cool too. That's your prerogative. If you are a christian then this court case that is gearing up flies in the face of everything you've been taught. If you're not, you've probably at least heard of this book that we've come to know as the BIBLE. Now, not everything in the book can be considered historical, what with all the water-to-wine's and raisings from the dead, but those people that, it's been written, put Jesus to death...they actually lived here on this earth. King Herod, Pontius Pilate, and the Pharisees(sp?) all are historically accurate from this time...Now, there are other documents from the time, aside from the Bible, that mention Jesus.
So again I will ask, why is there a court case, in Italy of all places, debating what has been previously established as historical fact? Now, if I'm completely off base, or i missed that 48 Hours Exclusive where they decided that it's possible that Jesus himself is a parable, please correct me, but if not, c'mon folks...next people are going to be saying the holocaust didn't happen...what? Someone already tried that one? ok...I give up!
