Throughout history, people have believed in many gods enough to die for them, and 'miracles' could easily have been embellished over time, or simply confused in translation. I won't deny that his ideas and methods were good and honourable, but that does not prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was indeed, a physical manifestation of a higher power. He [b]may[/b]* have been delusional and called himself the son of God, or people may have read too much into his actions and words. He could have been a slightly deluded visionary of his time, but people have come up with ideas ahead of their time on more occasions than just him. For the record, I enjoy theological debates for their own sake. And am well aware nobody's beliefs will be changed by anything said here. *any offence is unintentional, wording these things gets tricky sometimes.

  • Christianity was a radical break with contemporary social, political, and religious thought. It wasn't used to foment a rebellion for political gain, or otherwise upset the status quo. What did Jesus have to gain by doing what he did? Nothing. He died. That's it. In terms of Earthly gain, there was none. That makes no sense. Judaism wasn't that way, and neither was Islam. Or Hinduism. Or Zoroastrianism. That he was who he said he was makes more sense to me than other explanations. And it explains what I have seen and experienced better than anything else.
