You're assuming he existed. Stop. Go by the evidence. Use your head. If I write a hoax today that's set in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1930, then it's silly to ask, "Well, if the Cleveland police knew it was a hoax, then why didn't they expose it back in the 30's?" Since there was no Jesus, there was no reason for the Romans to "expose" Jesus. Furthermore, Christianity started as a tiny cult. Nothing more. With the Romans, they weren't aware of Christians as anything but a queer branch of Judaism. By the time they realized what Christianity was, it was far too late.

You said it yourself, Constantine picked and choose what was to be and what wasn't. The Date could have been one. I already know Jesus wasn't born in the winter, that doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Which part of "they invented the story" are you not understanding?

Not really. If you have something I missed that's importent, restate it. However, it doesn't look like you have decisive evidence.

No. I'm not going to repeat myself. You challenged me to prove what I stated. I did. You then ignored most of my post and sniped (poorly) at parts of what I stated. You're not going to re-write the thread and pretend that I didn't prove what I proved. Read it again and this time try replying to the whole thing.
