No...Jesus is not a myth...except to the biased and/or ignorant.
The "Christ" aspect could be claimed as such...but not the person of Jesus.
And...if it is all "myth"...that would actually accentuate the "mojo" to the point that it could reasonably be deemed a "miracle". For a "myth" to be that meaningful and important, for that long, to that many intelligent, sophisticated, educated people, could be considered no less than that.

saaaaaaans!!!
Look what the cat dragged into the thread!
Well, well...things just got a lot better.
No Fear of anything...except Religion, Belief/Faith, God, and anything Theism related!

You came from God sans...everything does. We are all from, and the essence of, God. Your parents/family included.

That's what we are talking about Coco! The Jesus of the gospels; Jesus the Christ; the one that allegedly died and came back to life; the one that allegedly walked on water etc. I know it's difficult for you but do try to keep up. The other Jesus, if he existed, I have no interest in whatsoever. He was an itinerant rebel, rabbi of no importance.

If you are atheist what does it matter what God, whom you *in theory* knows does not exist?
It is odd that you are asking questions and seeking answers relating to a non existant religious diety

It's called discussion and debate. I don't believe in mermaids but if you come here proclaiming that they exist and that they interact with you in your daily life then I will call you on it and try to show with reason, logic, common sense and verifiable evidence, that you are wrong.

Have you never belonged to a debating society?

Doesn't matter.
Doesn't even matter if Jesus didn't exist at all...and was a "myth". As I said...that would be even more impressive.

No character...real, embellished, completely contrived, or otherwise...has been more important and had more influence on the world than Jesus.
I know how much y'all like empirical facts...get hip to that one.

Oh, and...the next time you fill out a form or a check and write "2017" on the dateline...genuflect to the power Jesus has to compel you.

But...it's all from God. God is the source of everything, and is everything. Muslims, Christians, Mohammed, Jesus, you name it.
