Or there was a fiction author, and back then people wete gullible to accept fiction as fact

Even atheist historians/anthropologists agree that a historical Jesus existed. The evidence is overwhelming (he's mentioned by Roman historians and Roman documents from the time period).

There's actually no debate as to whether there was a dude named Jesus who had a following of some sort in Israel around 30 BCE, and that he was later killed around 33-35 by the Romans by crucifixion. He's listed in both Roman and Jewish histories at the time, although often very briefly, and alongside other politics/religious leaders of the time in lists of trouble makers executed by the Romans.

See: Tacitus and Josephus.

He's just been spun to be thought of as a white male in his mid 20s with luxurious brown hair and a well kept beard who spoke english as we know it today.

And spun to be born dec 25th just in time to meet the pagan winter solstice celebration,

I agree that a Jesus existed, it has been proven, other than that, not so much. I also think there is a lot of speculation regarding his life taken as fact. Surrounding Jesus though, I can believe a lot about how he lived, and where he travelled, but not much else

Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy - he laid the beats.
Hova flow - the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats.

Well obviously a lot of what Christians say he did he probably didn't do, but that's not really a problem. We can't really prove that any historical figure from a long time ago really did or didn't do. What we do know is Jesus existed, and he was a Jewish heretic who became the focal point for a religion founded shortly after his death.

it baffles me how anyone can believe in god and jesus in a way the bible says. or any other ridiculous religio. i guess it all comes down to fear of death, what is after life and people who don't know how to live a happy life without something like religion

is that why you praise teemu?
