1. Ashiests hate Jesus.
2. You can't hate something that doesn't exist.
3. Therefore, Jesus exists.
An oldie but goodie from the flip side of the coin to show that both sides can engage in satire. :cheers:

Buddy, your satire barely even qualifies.

Want satire? Go look at Jean Baptiste Peres' satirical pamphlet arguing Napoleon didn't exist in parody of Volney and Dupuis. Or Richard Whately, who did the same. There are also parody articles arguing Abraham Lincoln didn't exist as well.

Way funnier and way more worth the effort than your troll posts.

Argument from not giving a sh**

1- I have no skin in the game.
2- I don't have a dog in this fight.
3- I am completely neutral. I have no agenda.
4- I literally couldn't care less; I'm just saying, whether Jesus existed or not doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
5- It just seems to me that he did.
6- Therefore, Jesus existed.

Argument from excessive plausibility

1- Lots of Jews in first century Palestine were called Jesus.
2- The Romans crucified many Jews.
3- There were many preachers and apocalyptic prophets at that time.
4- There's just nothing weird about a first century apocalyptic Jewish man called Jesus being crucified by the Romans.
5- I'm telling you man, they were like a dime a dozen.
6- Therefore, Jesus existed.

(3) Therefore Jesus existed.
