Jesus' execution is in the romsn and jewish records and mohammed's family were a well known middle eastern merchants.I think it is pretty well documnted and accepted they both existed as people...you are perhaps getting confused with their claims to divinity?

All known 'external' documentary sources are either proven or suspected Christian interpolations, pious frauds or have been disputed or discounted for other reasons.

Jewish, Christian and Islamic sources are considered self-serving therefore not acceptable as credible evidence.

There is no independent or credible evidence that Prophet Mohammad (saaw) was a historical figure, unless you can demonstrate otherwise.

Widely accepted as matters of faith - that doesn't count as evidence, though.

No, not at all, but let's not go there before first clearing up this point.

[Keef]

Why would Jewish papers be self serving in claiming the existance of Jesus?

I'm sorry - you were the one that offered up evidence. Opinion is not evidence, I'm sure you know that.

Ok, I've got this ancient document written in Hebrew that says G-d gave me your house, valuables and your ass. You can keep the ass, just PM me when you've vacated the premises and I'll nip over and take possession. Leave the ???? on the table. May the Lord go with you.

How did you guess? Don't tell me - the little voice in your head, wasn't it?

Seriously, there ain't no evidence, is there? Just wishful thinking and blind faith. Have a good holiday.

Put that into Google and get the You Tube clip and that should end all doubt as to the existence of Jesus.

The clip lasts for 1 min 13 seconds.

How fascinating Mick! He seemed the most down-to-earth superb Human Being on God's Earth!

Did you meet him and what was he like M8?

Mick give yourself a treat for 5 Minutes and put the following into "You Tube"

"Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues"....this was why Rory was universally loved. After 2 mins 30 seconds the crowd in France are on the stage head-banging with him and then he carries on, playing on top of the Amps and back amongst the madding crowd again.

Exhilarating stuff and I never saw him. More fool me.

No - I did not meet him TLS - It was my first job, I was too junior and was not allowed to meet clients. Spoke to him on the phone once, he seemed ok. Also he was a local hero in Northern Ireland. Have always meant to get into his music and have watched him on Youtube following one of your previous posts, really talented guy.

Met Joe Strummer a couple of times and he was great, I also had his phone number while he was staying with one of the Conrans and used to call him up on the way home from nights out.

He also once lent my son twenty quid to get home from Brixton when he spent a long evening backstage at the Academy.
