Did Jesus exist?

What a strange lawsuit. A man is taking a priest to court in Italy for claiming that Jesus existed on the basis of fraud and impersonation laws. Very, very interesting. Apparently the man is doing this because he really wants to get the issue to the European Court of Human Rights (which I've never heard of). I'm not sure what to make of it. It would be interesting to see what happens. I suppose we never really know if anything from the past is real, but even I don't have a problem believing Jesus existed. That's not to say he did or didn't I suppose.

Well, regardless of religious beliefs, Jesus existed. There are plenty of historical records of him. Whether or not he was the Son of God, a prophet, just a man, or some crazy homeless person...now that's an issue of faith or belief.
