Cathy has left the room. I take my life in my hands by leaping in here
but could you agree that the myth or the reality of the existence of a
human being named X having lived at some time in the past is not
particularly relevant? I think that Cathy believes that He was a real
person. You do not. I figure that any argument will not convince
either of you.

I do think that you agree that there was/is a Christ/meme.

If reason is to prevail in any discussion I think it is best to find a
point of agreement and go from there.

I don't mind a fight as long as it is a clean fight.
