    There are basically four positions you can take about this:

    1. Jesus existed and was crucified
    2. We can’t know, because there is no conclusive evidence, but I think (1) is more likely
    3. We can’t know, because there is no conclusive evidence, but I think (4) is more likely
    4. Jesus is a myth

    I am on (2), as are most historians, and you put yourself on (1).

      Yeah, I guess that’s fair. Religion and history are so intertwined when it comes to this subject that it’s easy to dismiss sources as biased, which is what’s happening here. Still not convinced they should be dismissed in this case
