If you believe Jesus actually lived and did some 
of the things recorded in the Bible, the question 
I'd ask *you* is "Why?"  What's your reason?

Lee, I've seen enough of these kinds of arguments 
demanding evidence and proof over the course of my life.  
Yours is no different.  You offer nothing new here.   

What's your motivation?



... Can you show me some _proof_ of your identity?
