If Jesus was made up, who was his make-up artist. lol
If Jesus was made up by the Council of Nicea in 325 AD, how could Peter and John swear to having been in the presence of Jesus for three and one-half years?
Peter was martyred in/about 66 AD, and John died of a natural death in/about 100 AD. There words were recorded in history.
The predictions that Jesus would be born of a virgin was written 600 years before the birth of Jesus. Which pagan religion did they copy that from? Can you prove that?

While you may be a bunch of myths and garbage, thr would not have been a council if there had not been a religion.
"The First Council of Nicaea, held in Nicea in Bithynia (in present-day Turkey), convoked by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in 325, was the first ecumenical[1] conference of bishops of the Catholic Church, and most significantly resulted in the first uniform Christian doctrine, called the Nicene Creed. With the creation of the creed, a precedent was established for subsequent 'general (ecumenical) councils of Bishops' (Synods) to create statements of belief and canons of doctrinal orthodoxy— the intent being to define unity of beliefs for the whole of Christendom.
The purpose of the council was to resolve disagreements in the Church of Alexandria over the nature of Jesus in relationship to the Father; in particular, whether Jesus was of the same substance as God the Father or merely of similar substance. St. Alexander of Alexandria and Athanasius took the first position; the popular presbyter Arius, from whom the term Arian controversy comes, took the second. The council decided against the Arians overwhelmingly (of the estimated 250-318 attendees, all but 2 voted against Arius). Another result of the council was an agreement on the date of the Christian Passover (Pascha in Greek; Easter in modern English), the most important feast of the ecclesiastical calendar. The council decided in favour of celebrating the resurrection on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, independently of the Bible's Hebrew Calendar (see also Quartodecimanism), and authorized the Bishop of Alexandria (presumably using the Alexandrian calendar) to announce annually the exact date to his fellow bishops." (wikipedia)
So, it was to clarify the nature of Jesus, NOT to invent someone who clearly existed.

Whether or not Christianity is made up, or has pagan origins, that doesnt mean that Jesus peace be upon him was also made up.
How do I know?
Well in the Qur'an Allah Almighty speaks about him, now we know that the Qur'an wasnt made up a few years ago.
The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him mentioned Jesus peace be upon him. we know that the Prophet Muhammad couldnt be made up. He is more real than anyone in history. we have descriptions about his life, from when he went to the bathroom, when he went to the people, what he said and did, when was each verse revealed to him. We also know from these accounts, the most accurate of course, is that he was most trustworthy and honest that if he was to say that there is an army coming to attack the Quriash they would believe him. Since he mentioned Jesus, then Jesus is real. That makes two accounts of his life, one by God Almighty in the Qur'an and the other by His messenger Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
So, I guess what are myths and garbage is not Jesus but what yuo people attribute to him (by claiming he isnt real)

Really? What kind of makeup did they use?
Oh.... Invented. Hm. There's actually non-biblical references to Jesus, so he wasn't "invented". No-one ever said Jesus was the only person to die on a cross. It was pretty common back then. Yes, the holidays seem to have origins in pagan rituals, but that made it easier to convert pagans to Christianity. Doesn't mean Jesus was made up.

Your questions need to rewritten to clarify that you are an atheist and no other information will change your belief.
Joshua ben Joseph was a Jew, a Jewish rabbi, the Jewish Messiah, king of Jews. He was executed by the Romans at the request of the Jews. God raised him from the dead. We have four accounts stating this.
Before Christianity became the state religion of Rome, Western Empire; Christianity was persecuted for over 200 years for those very beliefs.
You may think Jesus is made up, but he was made up several hundred years earlier.

Nicea?, 325?, we have many manuscripts with undisputed dates about 200 years older than the council of Nicea. Including the gospel of John from the 1st century. You had better check your sources again.

It's a shame you're going to have to find out the hard way that God does in fact exist, and Jesus did die on the cross for you. Don't wait until it's too late. Cry out to God now, and let Him change your life.

You have a very strange take on the Council of Nicea. You are just asking for others to agree with your opinion.
I don't agree with your statements.

Actually you're not accurate. Jesus was a person who lived on the Earth. Much of the "old" religions have been incorporated into Christianity. . .but that doesn't mean that Jesus and his message did not exist.

You have no evidence to back up what you so flippantly speek about. Jesus was never made up. I have thousands of pages from the bible and science to back me up. What do you have to prove you're right. And it is most certaintly not myths or garbage.
