Did any sceptics ever consider Pilate a myth?

I've never heard of anyone claiming that Pontius Pilate was a myth. He is well documented in Roman history.Edited by Pressie, : Added a word

Oh, I don't even have to look at Christian believers to do it for me. Philo was not a Christian, but he wrote about Pontius Pilate, too. Where do Christians get their weird idees from? Pontius Pilate a myth? Rhetorical question coming: Have some Christians lost track of all reality?(Forgot to add, Philo wrote about Pontius Pilate, but didn't mention anything about Jesus. And he lived during the time of Jesus, unlike Josephus who "wrote" about Jesus later....)Edited by Pressie, : Added a sentence

It is like a very well-known science-fiction series that refers to Earth, but still has Mr. Spock featuring in it....it doesn't mean that Mr. Spock existed. Or a movie called Saving Private Ryan referring to President Roosevelt. It doesn't mean that Private Ryan existed, although president Roosevelt did exist. These Christians now want to pretend that skeptics doubt the existence of Earth and Pres. Roosevelt. For Christians it's hard to distinguish between fact and fiction. They think skeptics are the same.Edited by Pressie, : Edit a few sentencesEdited by Pressie, : Added a sentence

KapyongI've read through your references where it is stated that skeptics apparantly claim that Pontius Pilate was not a historical figure. I couldn't find an original reference where any skeptic claims this anywhere. I only found the claim that : "skeptics insist that Pontius Pilate didn't exist". Could you point us to an original article where a skeptic doubted the existence of Pontius Pilate?

Yes, I know, but we need some religious person here to take the opposite viewpoint. Some debate.
