Because there is so much evidence for His existence (and also His Resurrection btw) that to question it is comparable to questioning the existence of JFK.

Um...not hardly. There is absolutely NO evidence for the existence of your god. There's a ton of evidence for JFK, like the pictures, the videos, the voice recordings (to copy 793036), and even his body (or what's left of it). What evidence do we have for god? The bible? That's not evidence. I can write a book and claim it is from god, but that doesn't mean it is. To say you can say for sure that jehovah the benevolent sky fairy exists is like saying you know for sure that all the other gods exist, ghosts are real, aliens are real, the loch ness monster is real, big foot is real, etc...you get the point. god isn't real. Get over it.

No film on Christ. Pretty sure of that. Those are actors in those movies."
Yes - and they're all EUROPEAN actors too!
As for proof of the resurrection, I lived in Jerusalem for a couple of years and saw the (supposed) tomb several times.
Tourist: "How do we know this is christ's tomb?"
Guide: "Are you blind? Look, it's empty. This PROVES he was buried here and rose from the dead!"
And THIS is evidence?
@Michael
This's impossible. Jesus's Tomb is in my backyard. There's a little wooden cross that says Jesus on it and everything. Dig as much as you like*, there's no body there. Proof!
*for $1000 an hour. Surely, the chance to dig where Jesus was resurrected from is worth that at least.
"so much evidence"
Zero evidence.
JFK: Well known figure in American not-so-distant history.
Jesus: Fictional carpenter with magic powers.
Of course! Don't you know anything about science?!
The new testament, or "The Pilate commission report", is a giant coverup. Judas was a patsy. There were at least two hammers. All of the witnesses mysteriously died within 80 years of the assassination, all but four of them before they could give evidence to the commission. And this is before we bring up such issues as 'the magic nail'.
“Because there is so much evidence for His existence (and also His Resurrection btw) that to question it is comparable to questioning the existence of JFK.”
IIRC, there were about ten shrouds in the middle ages purporting to be the burial shrouds of Christ.
Are there even two sites claiming to be the final resting place of JFK?
And the pieces of the True Cross probably added up to the weight of three crosses or more. Are there four or five bullets in different museums claiming to be THE Bullet?
The stories of the women finding the cave empty are confused, they conflict and cannot all be true. Are there three or four different accounts of who was in the car in Dealy Pplaza? Jackie, two SS men, and the Secretary of the Navy versus Jackie, four SS men, and the VIce Pres?
Is there even any doubt that JFK was Catholic? Many people insist that Jesus was not a Jew. That he was the only European White Man in the country.
Did JFK make any claims to miraculous powers? ANd did the Senate refuse to believe him because ‘No one can do that, sir!’
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
