So Jesus said to his disciples as he was nailed to the cross..

I would be fairly content there was a Jewish prophet upon which the tales of the bible are based.

However I am absolutely certain of the existence of Socrates and Plato. There are real historical figures with well documented lives. Jesus on the other hand has little contemprary documented existence.

One thing for sure – he was not a tall nordic blond. Nor was he born in midwinter. Just another in a long line of religious maniacs. These days they get medication.

You shouldn't need evidence to support a faith-based religion.

The nature of a faith-based religion is that there isn't any evidence, otherwise there would be no need for the 'Faith'. Of course, the more faith one has (and the less they question their faith) the more virtuous the follower is.

In reality, I suspect that most followers will be looking hard for evidence in order to justify their faith, and some do claim to 'see' it.

-If there was convincing evidence found to justify any religion there would be blanket coverage in the news media and it would be around the internet in minutes. 'Miracles' would be very popular, it is just a pity that so few take place nowadays compared with days of the Bible.

How many people would accept the finding of a court against them without any evidence?

Would countries ever go to war on the basis of praying about it?
