Jesus is, like, real because a long time ago, I think, people used to talk about him. And why would they lie?

Did this article read like a bad high school speech to anyone else?

"There's no record that anything happened here, but there's an ancient prophecy saying the messiah would be born in Bethlehem."

So someone centuries before predicted that something would happen. According to a book written centuries after the fact, it may have.

Well, I'm convinced.

Brian Haslip did you even read the article? The point of the discussion of the Bethlehem prophesy was that Mark specifically contradicts it by putting Jesus in Nazareth and the author notes there is no historical evidence for the nativity story

This was an interesting article despite being in a casual style as noted. I thought the discussion of Tacitus was particularly good, adding some detail I wasn't familiar with. The comments are interesting as well, it appears that denial of the existence of Jesus has become antitheist dogma. As an atheist, I remain open to evidence and the evidence for a real person as the basis for Christianity seems solid.

Glenn Costello I skimmed it. The most riveting part was the box that may or may not be real. That's definitive proof that Jesus existed...if it's real, and there was only one Jesus alive back then.

To be fair, I believe that a guy named Jesus existed, and I believe he did good things for people. I don't believe that he turned water into wine, walked on water, or was the son of God, but I believe he most likely existed.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
