Jesus loves you, I love you, and my fellow Christians love you as well. Now, Go Away!

Im all for debating religion but even I draw the line here - Jesus may very well have existed as a human being, there is SOME evidence to support his life although not in the time frame that matches the time frame of the bible, but that is a different issue.
The point that most people have the trouble grasping in the unwavering faith people have in god... you're just being purposefully antagonistic with this statement / question.
I like it when people will come to the defence of their religion and have the ba11s to listen to a reasoned argument so you saying childish things like this just makes for a bitter atmosphere and will actually deter some christians from entering into a reasoned debate with a serious poster.
Please, for the sake of intellectual debate, dont try to a prat.

Your statement "no-one has ever seen Jesus" is not only presumptuous, but lacking in research. The scholarly evidence for Christ is through a man named Josephus... wikipedia is a good source for information on Josephus and what he had to say about Jesus. While some might suggest that the writings of Josephus is not evidence, you cannot have it both ways, picking and choosing only research and historical evidence that support your point of view.

that's a stupid thing to say as there is historical evidence that a man named Jesus really existed so obviously someone had to see him even if he wasn't God(which he is anyway, but for the purpose of rhetoric).
As to dying for him. I don't think I personally should die because I think I'll do a much better job of serving his will down here on earth.

you haven't seen the wind, only felt the effects of wind. so why believe its there. listen, you will find out if he is real or not when you die, obviously its going to be to late to believe by then. just think, do you thing the world was created by accident. do you think it just happened by a chance. i mean, look at the oceans, sunset, and the ocean water stops right in our shore line. look at the universe, do you honestly believe it just appeared out of no ware. i don't think so. there has to be some kind of super power that created all this and his name is Jesus. that's the only thing that makes sense. you have to have faith to believe in what you cannot see. last, you're going to find out that he is the way no matter which way you choose. i pray you will let him in before it is too late.

Oh, you are mistaken my friend.
Thousands of people have seen Jesus!
He was seen by over 500 people at one time after
His resurrection.
He healed the sick, raised the dead, and did many wonderful things whilst on earth.
He is alive today, but not in human form.
How do I know He is alive?
He has transformed my life, and billions of people's lives
all down through the centuries.
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life,
no one comes to the Father, but through me.
Call on Him today! You will find Him real too!

Sorry sir....this sentence (which isn't very logical) will have little to no affect on the christians. Logic is not something they tend to take into consideration when contemplating life....strange huh?
They already knew they've never seen him (personally)
But their blind faith is based on a book that is heavily inaccurate/ a man with a suit who they put his face next to Gods (their pastor/priest) and a incredibly strong fear of hell.

I guess we just have to sit back, and let others believe in what they want to believe in. We have never ever "seen" wind, but we know it's there, right?
Listen to me, I'm defending the Christians for once! Haha.
Have a great rest of the day, man.
Thanks for the question.

Ye'll be walking the plank for that. First we have no evidence one way or the other. Given the amount of wrinting that occur well after his death, we probably could safely accept that he did live. On the other hand, such a case may not be made for a supreme being.

Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.
