Jesus was invented?

[CountArach]

As a classicist I feel I would be in a fairly good position to know if new contemporary documents from the period had been found. Given that I know no such thing I am completely confident that this is total BS. It is just a dumb claim from a well-known Christian conspiracy theorist who has no formal University education or attachment saying what he thinks in a non-peer reviewed setting to an audience who are only turning up because they want to believe in what he is saying. Jesus existed and we can know that from sources such as Josephus and that much should be uncontroversial to say.

Anyway a member of the Atheist Society at my University wrote the following blog post about how stupid this is and I feel it is worth reading:

EDIT: Yay, something substantial for my 9000th post.
