Oh.....sheesh...........I knew I shouldn't have been typing that last night.................the issue was proof of his authorship of the Gallic Wars ..........NOT whether he actually existed. (I'm pretty sure you knew that was what I was talking about, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt). It would be as stupid to say Caesar didn't exist as it is to say Jesus didn't exist.......and I'm not stupid.

You accept Caesar's authorship, and its truthfulness without question............don't you? But you never came up with a date for the nearest document of it (another hint..........it was almost a millenium after Caesar actually lived).

Now please address the other issues I raised, all the documentation that Jesus was an historic figure (and even the Encyclopaedia Britannica's statement that people who question it can't be taken seriously) and your outright lie on this thread that I said the Gallic Wars were forgeries.

If you want to be taken seriously, you'll have to prove that the historic evidence is wrong (which you cannot do), or admit you're wrong.

If you ignore the documentation presented to you, you'll prove (what most of us think), that you're a phony who isn't interested in the truth, and who has done no serious research to find out what the facts really are, because you're afraid of what you'll find out.

btw, if someone claimed that Caesar DID do miracles, would you deny that he existed in spite of historic evidence to the contrary?

Is that your problem? The miracles? You deny the history because you don't like the miracles?
