I argue that the historical proof we have says that both actually lived. What can not be proved is if Jesus was a God or a son of one.

Proof was the key word here and Jesus' life cannot be "proven" using archaeology at this time.
Which pre-established definitions am I not subscribing on ? What have I created on my own ?
The key is your word ever-evolving lexicon. I am trying to see things differently and with objectivity.
For example religion; It's a fact that most people belonging to the large religions today are not actually religious per Pindar's definition. Would this make them less members of the religion. No. Here we have the disagreement. Actually a scientific survey of people being religious and members of the religion would show my thesis correct.

I must say that I am a bit surprised over you telling me that I am creating my own definitions. My intentions is nothing more that open up the mind of Pindar towards reality.
