I've never heard of anyone claiming that Pontius Pilate was a myth.
​
The OP agrees with this, but in addition to this piece of truth,

quote:
Believers sometimes claim that sceptics thought Pilate was a myth
​
And, in case you were unfamiliar with this phenomenon he provided some quotes of some believers that make this claim.

Could you point us to an original article where a skeptic doubted the existence of Pontius Pilate?
​
No he can't. That is kapyong's entire point! It is the subset of believers that say sceptics doubted the existence of Pontius Pilate, kapyong is not saying that. It is the believers therefore that need to point to such an article, since kapyong is sceptical that such doubt has ever seriously existed.

The claim that any sceptics ever said Pilate was a myth is totally FALSE.
