Words of Comfort: Shakespeare.

To those who say that there's no evidence that Jesus existed, I would ask what evidence is there that Shakespeare existed. I'm sure they would say that we have the words of Shakespeare as proof. If he didn't write them, who did?

I would say the same of Jesus. Who said such incredibly wonderful words? Was it Matthew, Mark, Luke or John? Was it someone else? Whoever it was should be worshipped as God, because His words were divine and without precedent. The statement of the skeptic should rather be "I don't believe THE EVIDENCE for the existence of Jesus."

I would also ask the person who thinks that Jesus never existed what year it is. It’s been 2,000 years "since Christ" (AD). There's a good clue. Of course, some don't like to use "AD." They prefer "CE," which stands for "Common Era." That's how (in their minds) they get rid of Jesus.

Those of you who are CE folks should know that you are in agreement with another group who refuse to worship Jesus—the Jehovah's Witnesses. They have been using CE in their literature since April, 1964.

If u have a good evidence that Willie skakie didn't exists put it forth.. No one is going to put u in hell for that.

U are free to believe Willie didn't exist based on ur reasoning and evidence just as others are free to believe Jesus didn't exist based on their own reasons too

Are there any discussions or readings of Shakespeare on nairaland?

That is more important than this question (and topic), in my opinion.


I read the complete works of Shakespeare in elementary or was it secondary school, till now I have not seen any Nigerian under a particular age who I can discuss with.

Most of your threads and comments seem to be in religion and politics, with an occasional foray into literature. (Correct me if I'm wring).

Are you saying you have an interest in Shakespeare, or you feel you know enough to engage in a thread discussing Shakespeare's works? The two premises are not the same.


In any case, name any of Shakespeare's works you'd like to mention, we can start from there.

For example, which ones are your favorite, or you consider noteworthy.
