The poster in question argued on another thread that part of Christian faith is believing that Christ even existed in the first place because, so he claimed, there is no proof that he ever existed and that Christianity could well have been started by a wealthy Roman family in 300 AD.

I, of course, argue that Christ's existence is a matter of historical fact, not belief. What is a matter of belief is whether we believe that Christ is who He claimed to be.

I totally agree with everything you said here. He probably believes that he's the descendant of aliens too.
