Reality Check

I stopped believing in Jesus a long time ago. Since then I've known he is real.

Historicity of Jesus

The historicity of Jesus concerns how much of what is written about Jesus of Nazareth is historically reliable.

There is no evidence for the existence of Jesus that comes from the time of Jesus—no writings or artefacts of his, no accounts of him written in his lifetime – and critics often accuse Biblical scholars of creating Jesus in their own image...
-Wikipedia's Historicity of Jesus

My conclusion is not that Jesus didn't exist, but that the evidence for his existence doesn't exist.

40% and counting

A couple of months ago I started counting hours towards a useful time goal. Right now I'm at a little over 40% (check the counter.)

I've read, researched, worked, helped, traveled, exercised and I feel much better about myself. I'll keep counting just because I want to complete the goal, but I feel comfortable saying I balance work and fun quite well.
