Correction needed.... America has been routinely transferring
suspects to other countries to be tortured. A Canadian Muslim
recently went through this.

I somehow missed your reference, link, or citation on this. Would you mind
posting it again? You DID post one, didn't you?

Jesus Christ!

Invoking mythical invisible friends won't help you.

What makes you think He was mythical?

A lack of evidence to support the Christians' most basic truth
claims. While no one actually disputes the erstwhile existence of ElRon
Hubbard, virtually no one outside the $cientology cult seriously
believes that he lived up to their collective biography of him.

Same with Jesus. There probably *was* a man upon whom the legend was
built, but there is no credible evidence that he was a messiah, or even
a reasonable facsimile of same. Therefore, "Jesus Christ" is a myth --
even as Pilate was a historical figure.

We're not discussing if He was the Messiah, we're discussing his
existence.

The person, or the legend? Jesus the historical man, if indeed he
did exist, has disappeared so neatly into the mists of time that we
can't be certain whether he did or not. Jesus the legend almost
certainly didn't exist.

"Almost Certainly"!
Even I've got to giggle at that!

Why? Anything is possible, though some things are a lot more
possible than others.

Well, the "legend" most certainly DOES exist, doesn't it?

The legend remains, even if it were built from der Luft.

Otherwise, please explain all those Hundreds of millions that visit
those buildings with Crosses on them every day...'specially on Sunday!

Me?
I have no doubt that a man called Jesus Christ existed way back then.

I don't seriously doubt that there was a man named Yeshua (a common
Jewish name, translated today as Joshua) whom some called messiah (which
is a rough translation of the Greek), having been called a messiah by a
Jew before. :P
