James Bond Has As Much Historical Reality As Jesus
Various candidates have been offered as the real-life inspirations for James Bond, including Ian Fleming himself and Fitzroy MacLean. Obviously the name was changed before the Gospels of Bond were written, but that was the case with Jesus too. Does anyone believe that Jesus' surname was really "Christ", "The Anointed One"? "The name's Christ, Jesus Christ." Of course not. Even if the gospel tales of Jesus are based on some semblance of historical reality, so too are the tales of James Bond. Therefore Bond is as at least as historical a figure as Jesus was.

THE ENTIRE Jesus Christ story is actually a 10,000 year old bedtime story parents would tell their kids while pointing at the heavens above. (STARGAZING!) The NORTH STAR is the star of Bethlehem, and on the 25th of December the THREE KINGS (three stars on orions belt) are in direct line with where the SUN (son of god) RISES making the days longer etc etc. Most of what is in the bible originated from stories naming the different constellations and how they interacted with the seasons, the moon, the sunrises, etc.

I think maybe less of a historical figure more a combination of great men that were. But as you say the evidence is there.

I would say James Bond has more, because at least we know who wrote about him.

Edit: And JB is more interesting to read about, though that doesn't really apply.

And the films are more interesting than any serious film about Jesus ( Except the Life Of Brian, I love that ).

 I've never seen a more brilliant take on religion than Life of Brian, but if you've never heard of it, google an early '70's film called "marjoe".

I'm an avowed Atheist, but even I recognise that there is more grounding to the existence of Jesus (or someone we know as) than James Bond. James Bond is a fictional character invented with influences from real people. There is evidence (and I'm not saying conclusive, I'm not interested in that debate) that Jesus was a real person, no influence, homages or anything.

Jesus may turn out not to have existed, but the evidence for him having existed is stronger than that for James Bond. Therefore James Bond does not have 'as much historical reality' as Jesus.

James Bond is fiction, Jesus is reality. And don't be an idiot, Christ wasn't Jesus' last name.
