im p sure he was a real dude (like im almost positive this is something that only internet r/atheists challenge, but i could be wrong)

I think the position is that there's enough evidence for Jesus the person that if you regard it as insufficient you have to regard the existence of lots of accepted historical classical figures as suspect too.

A trolley train is heading towards a track switch. Down the left side is Hitler, who will be instantly killed if the car hits him. Down the right side are ten Hitlers, who will also all be killed. They are all organ donors. A Cartesian "evil genius" may be manipulating your perceptions. What do you do?

There might have been lots of Joshes running around, but Jesus the Christ was just a repackaged Inanna and existed exactly as much as she did, i.e. not at all.

No, just that their history books were being written by people with faulty and secondhand information.

Crash train into ten hitlers, go back and strangle the remaining hitler with your belt.

Or do it the other way around.

Also not until you go to the libertarian thread a few pages back and read the Walter Block classic:

You are an SS concentration camp guard. Every week, you are intended to kill 100 jews. You get away with only killing 90 because you disagree with the genocide and want to take it easy on the Jews. If you kill 89, you will be shot as a sympathiser. Does killing 90 instead of being shot and letting a guy who will kill all 100 make you a hero?

According to libertarians, apparently yes.

you more or less have to make several leaps of faith of your own to hold that Jesus was not a real person, with the primary motivating factor to be "because I don't want him to be"

lol, fishman if you think that dadaism meant nothing at all and im not holding video games to being good or meaningful, just that they're masturbatory power fantasies 99% of the time and provoke about as much thought as 10 minutes on the port-o potty at a state fair and its funny to see video-game enthusiasts just not accepting their pastime for what it is: a masturbatory meaningless time-sink.

I say all this as a guy who has invested 2 months of his life (and counting) into civ 5. I hold no pretenses about what im doing and its refreshing to be truthful

a masturbatory meaningless time sink describes most art since the dawn of history. also many dadaists intentionally created things with no meaning and let other people call them art. it was kind of a thing the movement as a whole did!

you really need to stop pretending that whether something's art has anything to do with it having value or meaning, that's something rich idiots think when they pay for it to look good.
