Because believing in Jesus may take away their worldly pleasures.

The only proof that Jesus existed is in the bible, which is certainly not the most truthful nonfiction book ever written. It's funny how no in Jesus's time wrote anything about him. None of his disciples wrote anything, and neither did any of the Romans or Jews.

His mother was a virgin.
A magical star travelled across the sky and stopped above the place where he was born.
He raised Lazarus from the dead.
Walked on water.
Turned water into wine.
Cured blindness with spit.
Died on the cross
Resurrected after three days
And then ascended into heaven
Oh Yeah. He definitely existed alright !!!

I still believe what I was taught as a child: 'there is no doubt that Jesus did exist, the question is did he do all the things that are attributed to him?'
I think that the answer is no!

I don't believe he existed because of the whole 'world' aspect. I have heard people argue he appeared all over the world and peace was indeed everywhere etc. but it doesn't jive with the Bible. There were many historians alive in many parts of the world and the only ones that testified to his existence were Roman Christians.

Most historians today agree that a man named Jesus lived 2000 years ago, and the Gospels are a semi-accurate description of his life.
The debate is whether or not He was the Son of God.
Of course, some people deny he even existed, but those tend to be the same people who think 9/11 was a conspiracy and the moon landing was staged.

Jesus may have lived and he may have been a great teacher, but when his life is mixed up with superstitious myth, he loses credibility.
Only superstitious people accept curses and blood atonement which is what the Biblical Jesus represents. Our Creator is above using such tactics, but it is what ancient humans embraced when worshiping their myriad of G/gods throughout the ages.

We do believe in Jesus as the prophet of God and yes he existed.

You may think so, and that is your right, but many of us have looked at the evidence and found it totally unconvincing. Others of us have found alternative belief systems that we find more satisfying.
To say "he definitely exists" doesn't do much for us. Show us proof.

Why do people don't believe in using good grammar? I don't believe in Jesus, but that's only because I'm concerned with having proof about things. Strange, isn't it?

Because people don't walk on water or rise from the dead. The claims made about Jesus are outrageous and not suppoeted by any kind of credible evidence at all.
