An Italian Athiest is suing A Catholic priest saying that the Church made up the whole story of Jesus':

One if the issues the atheist raised is that the only people who mentioned Jesus in the Bible were the apostles in the Gospels and that they never personally were alive durign the time of Jesus. My question is I vaguely remember learning that St. John, the apostle was the youngest of the 12 while Jesus was alive and was the only actual gospel writer who had first hand experiences with Jesus. Does anyone know if this is true, or is John the apostle and John the Gospel writer two different people. Sorry if this is silly, I just want to make sure I get it right before I start debating with my non-believing friends.
