THE big issue of the millenium
"Prove Christ exists, judge orders priest"
History News Network: "An Italian judge has ordered a priest to appear in court this month to prove that Jesus Christ existed."
Signor Cascioli’s one-man campaign came to a head at a court hearing last April when he lodged his accusations of “abuse of popular credulity” and “impersonation”, both offences under the Italian penal code. He argued that all claims for the existence of Jesus from sources other than the Bible stem from authors who lived “after the time of the hypothetical Jesus” and were therefore not reliable witnesses.
