Skeptics... have no problem believing that Plato, Aristotle, and Caesar existed, but somehow or other they have the temerity to claim that Jesus Christ of Nazareth never existed.

It's not claimed that Plato, Aristotle or Caesar ever recovered from death, healed the incurable or performed other miracles. We don't have to rely purely on works of faith to accept their existence. But, nor do we believe that any of them were the son of God... and plenty of contemporaries, with no committed faith in them, attest to their existence and acts.
Occam's razor slices straight through mythology.

Greg, do try and realise: you cannot use the Bible to justify or prove the Bible. A self-referential proof is not a proof. Or do you believe in Harry Potter, too?
