    I’ve actually found out that there’s some decent historical evidence that supports the fact that a man named Jesus, from Nazareth, who was an outspoken critic of Roman rule, was a real guy with a sizable following in the first decade of the CE. Oh, and he probably was crucified by the Romans for talking so much shit about them.

    But all the miracles and coming back to life stuff is complete bunk.

      I’ve heard the same about the evidence of him existing, but I don’t get why religious people can’t entertain the notion that some other guy wrote some stuff that was, you know, possibly made up? I can point to an entire library section of stuff that people have written that isn’t true. Maybe the guy who talked about seeing him walking on water really didn’t? Nah, far more believable that he actually did defy physics.
