Ken Smith: There is zero mention of Christ during his lifetime. No evidence and no documentation of his actual existence…never mind what he said or did. However, Atheist Christopher Hitchens had the best argument that the biblical Christ character was based on an actual person. Apparently, the true messiah had to be born in the “house of David.” Hitchens says the obviously phony “census”---which required citizens return to the place of their birth to be registered (rather than where they lived)---would indicate that the Christ character was real…but was born elsewhere. Otherwise, he contends, why didn’t they just have him born in Bethlehem and be done with it?
