Thursday, March 03, 2011 12:40:24 PM show me historical proof OUTSIDE of the bible or other religious writings of a man named jesus christ hint:christ isnt a name its an honorific meaning "annointed" and jesus is a romanization of joshua so his name would have been something like joshua ben josef (joshua son of josef) |

Thursday, March 03, 2011 6:33:59 AM @Cobrakiller Tacitus mentions Christ as related from Christians at least 80 years after the events had supposedly taken place. here is the relevant chapter of Tacitus' Annals. When taken in context, he is basically saying "There are these people called 'Christians' and this is what they believe". His account is a tertiary source on this subject and is not reliable enough to conclude anything from. |

Thursday, March 03, 2011 6:04:27 AM Why all the not-very-famous people? There's good reason to believe that William Shakespeare was a pen name used by a small circle of writers rather than an individual. Also Socrates probably didn't exist, at least not as Plato described him. If they want to invoke a flame war, then religious figures like Jesus and Solomon are questionable at best as well. |

Thursday, March 03, 2011 1:20:44 AM lol @verinon To be fair though, the man Jesus actually existed and was fairly influential in the region (according to historians). Whether or not he was the son of god however...let that be for another day. |

Wednesday, March 02, 2011 3:12:40 PM The only person on this list I've even remotely heard of is Alan Smithee and that's only because my film teacher once wrote a letter to him complaining about a horrible film he had directed. |

Wednesday, March 02, 2011 3:01:48 PM I clearly fail at internets. Never heard of any single one of them them, so I'm nonplussed that they may or may not have actually existed. |

Wednesday, March 02, 2011 2:50:55 PM @buscompany What sources? Be specific. Does the reference to Frodo Baggins in Fizban's post mean that Frodo actually exists? |

Wednesday, March 02, 2011 2:21:22 PM @Fizban That's not even close to being true. There are mentions and references to Jesus by secular, jewish sources of the time. If you're gonna be sarcastic, at least be right. |

Wednesday, March 02, 2011 2:05:55 PM Jesus isn't on the list because the author of this article isn't a cynic. @Fizban: Just because you've never experienced proof of the existence Jesus Christ, doesn't mean he is fictional. |

Wednesday, March 02, 2011 1:43:57 PM cobrakiller: "jesus is not on the list because we dont know if he actually existed or not." The only "proof" that Jesus existed is a fiction book. Jesus Christ is as real as Frodo Baggins. |
