    Watch out, they might chop your head off for insulting a cartoon image of their pedophile, rapist, conman hero.

      Is he like Jesus, or is there actually evidence he was real and existed?

        Both Jesus and Mohammed probably existed, they just weren’t anything like in the stories.

          Mohamed got kicked out of his home town (Mecca) so he became a warlord (or he was always a warlord,) and invaded them after saving up by raiding their trade caravans.

          It’s straight up a misrepresentation to say Mohamed was a peaceful person, even if some in the faith have grown to abhor violence.

          Jesus was a dime-dozen twobit jewish mystic that probably had more in common with today’s faiths healing Christian scam artists than not. (Remember, the disciples weren’t exactly poor. They weren’t all rich; but they weren’t dirt broke either.)

          Mohammed is a well documented historical figure. Jesus is not.

          If you have proof that Jesus existed, please cite it now.

        Hmm, I remember hearing that the vast majority of biblical scholars and historians are in general pretty sure he was a real (normal) person. Is that not true?

        • That’s been the assumption, but there’s surprisingly little actual evidence of him existing. The first bits of writing that seem to mention him are from a century after he supposedly lived. We also have no evidence that the NT contains eyewitness accounts, but we do have limited evidence that it might not be.

          In short, we don’t really know either way.

          I don’t know. That’s why I asked. Is there an actual proof of this? Can you cite this?
