Atheist Suing Catholic Church for Proof of Jesus

from CNN

Luigi Cascioli is suing the Catholic Church demanding proof that Jesus existed. He says that he intends to bring down the Catholic Church. He said that the Church is full of "con men that take advantage of popular belief."

He claims that that the idea that Jesus Christ existed is a "complete fabrication composed of pagan myth." A European court in Strasbourg has agreed to hear the case after several failed attempts throughout Italy. Cascioli wants criminal charges.

The Catholic Church says that there is ample historical evidence that supports the existence of Jesus Christ and they are prepared for any legal battle that may come.
