Here's the thing, the Jesus myth has no solid evidence to support it, so you can't expect everyone to believe in what a book written by someone says on the matter. History of that area states that the name was as common as the name John was here in America a short time ago, so it's possible that the myth was about a lot of people, and prophets at that time were also a dime a dozen. If someone wants to believe in the myth, that's fine, that's their choice, but you cannot expect anyone else to take it seriously ... at least not anymore serious than you take pentacles, candles, ghosts, ghouls, Yule trees, etc..
I wouldn't be too fast to say that KK....
The Shroud of Turin
I won't go into detail of why that's not proof here, as I said, if you want to believe that's your choice, just remember that when you want to see a miracle, everything looks like one.
There is also the same level of proof that buildings are haunted, that aliens have visited (discounting the obvious hoaxes), etc..
It's not proof of who it is, granted. But they know it came from the time when Jesus was alive. It shows a man with blood on his brow, his hands and his feet, and has a puncture wound in his side. It is purported to be the clothe that Jesus was wrapped in after he was crucified. So although they can't prove it is, they can't disprove it either, and they still don't know how it was created, and they have no idea how to duplicate it either, even with all of modern day mans high tech.
And I believe in ghosts. I've got a video of one that I took in the Silver Queen hotel in Virginia City, Nevada. A ball of light popped out of the wall on one side of a darkened hall, purposely floated across and slightly up to the other side of the hall and disappeared into the other wall. This right after my son says' he saw a face pop out of the wall and look at him, and immediately before the ball of light emerged said, "there's something all over down there by those doors." He was IN TUNE with the spirit world that day...
It's a scary video... I ought to send it to you as a data file, 'cause I'm not lying.
