Really. In the crowds I deal with there are people that deny Jesus ever existed.



Sadly, I have spoken with many people that seem to believe that just because there are similarities, that Christianity ripped these off those religions.



It's called 17 years of evangelism and apologetic work. I forgot something even more important...people that believe as you stated, are NOT Christians either.

I've noticed a tendency in religious people, not just Christians, to dismiss the questions and concerns of others.
Uneducated, liberal, and NOT Christians either? Could it be that you have that tendency?

That would be an incorrect ***umption on your part.

I have noticed the tendency of atheists, agnostics and skeptics to dismiss the questions of others as being uneducated, narrow-minded, and bigoted.

One thing is for sure, I won't dismiss you as uneducated, narrow-minded, or bigoted, unless you really are.
