Few people in the ancient world could read. Outside of the Levant few people spoke Hebrew. How did illiterate, non-jews become Christians?

And today, most people know how to read.

Some days, when you're behind a car that has a bumper sticker that says.. "What would Jesus do?"

Yeah, those people can read, but can't actually think.

See, the letter J wasn't invented until the year 1524, so Jesus never existed.

And okay, let's assume older more original writings that refer to the man as Yahweh or YHWH something like that.

Okay, well whatever you care to name the ancient diety, your great spirit didn't drive a car to even have bumper stickers.

Hence, Jesus never existed.

You didn't address my fact. The letter J wasn't invented until the year 1524.

So, even if I wanted to, I do not know how to properly research words like Jesus, Jews, Jerusalem, January, June, July, etc before the year 1524.
