   So you can't think of a "myth" that has risen to   
   the level of prominence that Jesus has? I'm not   
   surprised, there is no such example. Jesus has   
   the prominence He has because He's NOT a myth.   
   Myths don't rise to that level of prominence,   
   no matter how hard you work on yourself, to try   
   to convince yourself that Jesus was a myth (when   
   there is no other example of such a "myth" that   
   you can name). Why do you think we're discussing   
   Jesus right now, and not some other "myth" that   
   you can't think of?

   That's good. A lot of other people use Jesus   
   as a swear word. Every movie I've watched lately   
   has at least four or five mentions of Jesus, but   
   not in a good way.

   And working so hard at it, that you had to make   
   sure you corrected my error -- because that's how   
   important this is to you, and explains why you're   
   working so hard (to try to convince yourself).

   I'm not surprised. I've noticed that trait (that you   
   attribute to yourself) among other godless people.

   "Care" was your word (just above).

   Then how do you know there aren't other people reading   
   this who are curious?

   There's a reason the Bible is the best-selling book   
   in the history of books. It's because many, many,   
   many people know there's truth in it -- no matter   
   how much you try to deny it.
