Lena Einhorn argued the templates weren't too far in the future - http://lenaeinhorn.se/wp-content/upload ... .11.25.pdf

[e] Jesus will come back in the future

Non sequitur.
All credible scholars claim mythology developed around the martyrdom
The same way it does not disprove atheism, it does not disprove jesus the man.

These are worthless on all counts either way.
They are great examples of terribly poor arguments for his existence.
Typical for apologist who really have no credibility here.

Feminist proofs that Jesus existed

A.
[1] In the ancient male dominated narrative context, women are only mentioned when they have to be mentioned.
[2] The only reason the women at the tomb were mentioned is that they had to be mentioned.
[3] The only reason they had to have been mentioned is because they alone witnessed the empty tomb after burial.
[4] Their witness of Jesus and his emptied tomb has to have been real.
[5] Therefore Jesus must have existed.
B.
[1] Women have a better grasp on reality than men.
[2] The gospels say that several women knew Jesus (including his mother).
[3] If they said they knew him, who are men to disagree?
[4] Therefore Jesus existed.
C.
[1] Jesus is just a man (according to Mary Magdalene).
[2] Despite this many women accept his existence.
[3] This is a bitter fact for feminists (who ask why he had the operation).
[4] Therefore Jesus existed.
