Based on the New Testement, which we accept as being true because when we read it we know by faith it's real.

This topic is going places.

Yes. I know that those statements are a bit exaggerating but would you care to give your in-depth opinion on this matter?

skepticism towards what? Beliveing that you are a divine being and are told to love your fellow human beings and the God who loves you back no matter what? What harm is there in that, when it comes form the man who rose form the dead and made many other miracles?
Don't look at human behavior and say that it's false. Yes there has been killings in the name of God and other dangerous things. That has labeled the New Testement in a negative way, just like Stalin did to communism. Please try not to bring your fellings into this.

Belief and the search for truth are different things. Believe what you want but if you want to claim something as established history you have to back it up with some evidence. The study of history is the attempt to discover the most likely course of events through critical thinking, skepticism and the examination of evidence.

...I want you to think about this for a bit...the founders of the early church did not have the New Testament yet they also accepted the resurrection..and it was through faith .

Ephesians 2:8-9

New International Version (NIV)

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

I think there's a good case to be made for mythicism. I'm not completely sold but I'm not sold on his definite existence either.

Lets exacerbate this topic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sacred_Mushroom_and_the_Cross

Jesus was literally a magic mushroom.

Why are Jesus and his step dad wearing mushroom hats in every picture? Where else did the halo come from lol. Immaculate conception...mushrooms grow from nothing....invisible spores. Why would a deity command his worshipers to eat him? To trip balls and get pregnant obviously.

One of the PCP-Christians is going to read this and a light is going to go off :lol:
