Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked."Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat."I don't know," Alice answered."Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
"So long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation. "Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
"All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. "Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!"

I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. Like Arthur Dent from "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", if you do not have a Babel Fish in your ear this blog will be completely unintelligible to you and will read something like this: "boggle, google, snoggle, slurp, slurp, dingleberry to the power of 10". Fortunately, those who have had the Babel Fish inserted in their ear, will understood this blog perfectly. If you are familiar with this technology, you will know that the Babel Fish lives on brainwave radiation. It excretes energy in the form of exactly the correct brainwaves needed by its host to understand what was just said; or in this case, what was read. The Babel Fish, thanks to scientific research, reverses the problem defined by its namesake in the Tower of Babel, where a deity was supposedly inspired to confuse the human race by making them unable to understand each other.

I don't think it will actually take much to prove that a man named Yeshua ben Yusuf ha Notzri actually existed; if, as claimed, he was descended from the line of David (as were both his mother and father), the genealogy will be there.
But it's gonna be interesting to see what they can come up with to prove that he was a god -- or the offspring of a god/human interaction (which, according to ancient Greek mythology, would make him a "hero" rather than a "god").
But you know what I find most fascinating? This is happening in Italy, of all places!
That court case unfortunately was thrown out by the Catholic Kangaroo Court. I think Luigi is going to take it one step further though.
I used to assume that Jesus was a historical figure until just over a year ago. It was then that I actually looked into the sources that Fundies were using. Josephus for instance, was born in 37 AD and didn't write about Jesus until around 70AD. Hearsay evidence at best. There is no doubt that Christians existed at that time.
At least one of the references to christ by josephus was an act of pious fraud. In other words, it was inserted by a "christian do-gooder" to prop up the notion that christ was an historical figure.

If a figure called Yeshua ben Yusuf ha Notzri existed historically, there appears to be scant historical evidence for him.
