You have no regard for science and history. Why should anyone on this forum listen to you about your views of science when you display such irrationality on verifiable historical topics?

It is not historians that deny the historicity of Jesus, it is people with an axe to grind.

Even Jesus’s enemies admit he was put to death for claiming equality with God. When both sides in a court of law admit to certain facts, those facts are not in dispute. And if you claim that someone proceeding from those kinds of facts is “psychotic” (assuming a typo here), you have shunted yourself aside to irrelevance.

Actually, it's both.

But I have not denied the historicity of Jesus. I said the evidence for anything sufficient to justify the founding of a religion is thin.

Claiming that there is as much evidence for the historical Jesus as there is for John Adams is, in fact, psychotic.
