Why are there still people who call themselves Christian and give their hard earned money religious institutions?

Your statement about Jesus never existing is false, untrue, unproven, disordered, ill conceived and just plain ridiculous. Jesus is very well documented in the best selling book ever written. This book covers centuries of time where Jesus was prophesied of and later came into reality. Middle Eastern history even records Jesus as having lived back then. The Muslim faith doesn't believe in Jesus as the way to salvation BUT they do record Jesus in the Koran (their Bible). Jesus is not only in the Bible-the Christian faith, but in history and in other religions too. Jesus is real. Jesus is alive and well. Please learn of Him.

LOL..... I guess you sure are getting the response and attention you wanted by posting this ridiculous question! The sad thing is that you definitely are not getting the attention you will need from God and His Son by your incredible remark. The wonderful part of it all is that no matter what you say or do, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit still love you all the same. You are always a child of God as are we all and welcome into His loving arms in this life and the next one, you have but to believe. The life of Jesus Christ is the absolute most documented life ever to have been on the face of this earth. Wherever you read heard or were told that His existence has been disproved, well, you were sadly misled. I hope and pray that you will find your way back to the Father before you run out of time. Oh, and to answer your question......we tithe because God directs us to do so in the Bible. This is to support the church and to help spread the loving word of God so that all of His children may relish in the wonders He has awaiting us. Good luck and God bless!!!!!!!

Conclusively proven,hahahahahahah.What atheist/agnostic gibberish did you get that info from.Just ask yourself.How could one fictitious person have such an influence upon the whole world.I'm not implying that 's proof but instead of looking for proof he didn't exist why not delve into the possibility he may have existed.I felt like you when I was younger,but i realized while I was in high school that He must be real or why else would so many be out to diprove Him.Just a thought to ponder.

No, I am sorry but you are wrong. It never has been, nor will it ever be proven that Jesus Christ never existed.
When you make a statement like that, you need to put down your source of reference. By the way, why does it matter to you what other people call themselves or how they spend their money?

It has never been proven conclusively that Jesus Christ never existed. Somebody done lied to you.
From the Old Testament alone, more than 2000 specific prophesies have been fulfilled.
No other so called Holy book compares.Most of the 333 prophesies concerning the Messiah were fulfilled by the birth and life of Jesus Christ and the rest will be fulfilled at His second coming. A mathematician, Peter Stoner, had his graduate students calculate what the odds would be of any one person fulfilling just eight of these prophesies. He found the chance was one in 100,000,000,000,000,000 !Only a God who knows the future could have revealed these prophesies to those that He would have record them in His Word.

In spite of what is being taught today, the truth is we can reconstruct most of the life of Jesus Christ through non - Christian writers of the first century. Even Celsus who despised Christianity, never considered claiming that Jesus Christ did not exist.This is what can be learned from the writing of Celsus...

He was born of a virgin in a small village of Judea;
He was adored by wise men;
His birth was followed by the slaughter of infants by order of Herod;
He took flight to Egypt, where Celsus supposed Christ learned the charms of the Magicians;
After returning, He resided in Nazareth;He was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a voice was heard from heaven;
He elected disciples;
He was a friend with publicans and other low people;
He cured the lame and blind;
He raised people from the dead;
He was betrayed by Judas;
He was denied by Peter;
In addition Celsus refers to several details of Christ's passion, crucifiction, and resurrection.

Twenty seven books of the New Testament, nineteen Pagan writers, and three Jewish writers testify to Jesus Christ's historical reality. When I hear people say that Jesus or the Bible is just a myth I just realise that they are simply unaware of the facts.I recommend The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel and or Skeptics Answered or The Gate Of Hell Shall Not Prevail by D. James Kennedy, and The Signature of God by Grant R. Jeffrey. May all your thoughts be taken captive by the Holy Spirit. Amen.

I'd like to see some links to where it has been proven that Jesus Christ never existed... I'll check back in a few.

Half an hour and still no links? Oh, well... I was really looking forward to reading whatever information you had... Maybe next time.

To be honest, it would not be overly surprising that a Jesus existed and that he started a religion.

On the other hand there is little doubt that all deities do not exist, so any claims of divinity are false. I suppose that from a christian viewpoint, this would make Jesus a madman or a liar - or make the Gospel writers liars.

Edit:
For the record, bible prophecies do not prove that Jesus existed or was the Christ. In order use them you must first provide evidence that the bible is truthful.

Edit 2:
Understand that most of the "conclusive" proof for Jesus is very late first century or later. Not only that, most of it deals with Jesus' later followers - not the apostles or original churches but the 3rd or later generations. Graned, this does not indicate or prove that he didn't exist, but it is not evidence that he did. Also the central issue remains, if there is no god, it doesn't matter if Jesus existed or not.

Edit 3:
Yes the Talmud mentions Jesus,but it also states that he was held for 40 days and was presented to allow anyone to speak for him, as was the normal custom for anyone accused for the crime.

The Jewish Talmud records of Jesus, even saying that he was killed for sorcery, meaning they acknowledged that miracles happened and that Jesus was among them. These are people who hated Jesus.
Secular historians of those days record his existance, among them Josephus.
The analytical proofs to authenticate ancient documents such as works of Caesar can be applied to the four gospels of the New Testament. When compared, there's over 39 thousand documents compared to 4 in favor of Jesus. No one denies Caesar's existance in history, so you must admit that Jesus existed in history.
How do you know if Abraham Lincoln existed? There must be witness accounts and historical records. Both are abundant for Jesus and Lincoln

Uh can you please show me the conclusive proof that Jesus Christ never existed?

Really, you're living in a fantasy world if you think you could convince anyone of that without some fairly convincing evidence.

It has not been proven that a man from Nazareth named Jesus did not walk around with some men and teach lessons of life and was then killed by the Jewish community, either.
