Only Americans thinks that apple pie is a specifically American food.
People are speaking English because that is an internationally known language. Americans assume that when people speak English on the internet, it must mean that they are American. It is not even remotely true though, Americans are a minority on the internet, including the "English speaking" internet, they are just never aware of it.
It doesn't make any sense at all. The world wide web is gasp world wide. Reddit is an international platform which deliberately appeals to an international audience, regardless of which country the company is situated in.
But we’re still doing this thread in English, and I’ll bet the reason why isn’t Britain’s impact on the internet.
It is incredible how poor you guys are at understanding the concept of languages. Your comments are completely unrelated to the fact that Americans are not a majority on the internet, even though Americans always assume so.
You seem to confuse people writing in English with being American.
My God you guys have either the worst comprehension possible it's [both sides bad]

No, US healthcare is many times more expensive than healthcare in developed countries with universal healthcare.
You are being bled dry by the insurance industry while still parrotting their propaganda in favour of them.
He was not considered the king of Jews by the Jews though (except mockingly). I should think they would have a say in the matter.
Well, according to the person you replied to Christians doesn't exist, so it is a moot questions.
There are zero contemporary primary sources for his existence.
We have a lot more contemporay primary sources for the existence of Socrates than we have of Jesus (of which the number of contemporary primary sources is 0).
No, there arent a lot of texts from the 1st century AD about him. The majority by far stems from the second century or later.
Written up to a couuple of centuries after his supposed existence.
You are the one who is doing the misinforming. All of the sources you mention, except Josephus, were written up to more than a century after his supposed existence. With Josephus being written around half a century after his existence.
And as mentioned, the specific quotes from Josephus are of a dubious nature.
No, OPs question was perfectly fine, because it is necessary to stress the fact that we have not a single contemporary primary source that Jesus existed. So adding extra parameters is pretty pointless, since we cannot convincingly answer whether he actually existed, much less whether he was a religious figure. Scholars have reached a conjectural consensus that a Jesus in some form likely existed, but it is a consendus based on congecture and circumstantial evidence in the form of later secondary sources.
