This is EXACTLY right. Without the literal existence of Jesus, there is no Christianity. Jesus is not a philosopher who came with a set of theological or socio-ethical principles to discuss--as C.S. Lewis notes in Mere Christianity: he is either the Son of the Living God and part of the Trinity or he was a madman and Christianity is predicated on a lie. It's amazing to see someone preach about false Christianity while propagandizing false Christianity.
I. ENJOY. SEEING. YOUR. POOR. ATTEMPTS. AT. CREATING. DISORDER.
That's my safety. YOU are my lil safety blanket. Because you lack wit, creativity and intelligence, I sleep better at night. If you fed fellas was as smart as you thunk, the Patriots would be in real trouble.

I think this is why he makes such an effort to say he is not concerned with the history of Jesus. He tries to sidestep the reality... but fails.
We really need a really real Jesus. Nothing else will do.
No, I mean are you provided with guarantees? Safeties?
I have blessed assurance--the greatest gurantee possible. But there is no safety for any of us, and I'm not looking for any.
I think I answered that a moment ago.
