Well we know he never washed his hands, so he probably smelled worse than most people back then.

At least people were kind enough to always wash his feet.

My favorite fairy tale growing up was The Three Little Pigs.

But then, I grew up.

No one atheist can speak for "atheists" as we're not an ideology. We have different reasons for not believing (for example)* that Jesus was god.

Not believing in Jesus means we can't be "against" him. He's imaginary. That's our issue. Not necessarily with the plotline or character development of the mythos.

In this particular case I am rooting for the Jesus character, except that of course his performance is uneven. He might be denouncing religious assholes in one scene, and irritably cursing a fig tree for not providing him fruit, despite that it's not even the season for figs, in the next scene. He speaks favorably of love and empathy and yet doesn't denounce slavery or affirm women as something more than chattel.

At the end of the day Jesus is a product of his times, leading from behind. Nothing terribly appealing here in the 21st century.

* Remember, atheists don't JUST disbelieve in YOUR deity. By definition they don't believe in ANY deity.

Indeed.  All the deities the believers don't believe in (like Vaal, and Baneemy and Cloacina, and Cizin and Bi and Zeus) we don't believe in either, AND we add the one deity the believer believes in too.

We're more like the believers than the believers are comfortable with.  They reject 99.999999999999% of all Gods, and atheists reject 100% of all Gods.

See, I was big fan of the one about osiris, isis, and set, wherein set dismembers his brother and assumes control of the Nile...while Isis, wracked with grief and driven insane searches for her lover's newly liberated phallus, having found it, concieves a child named Horus, who then reestablishes his fathers throne and restores order.

Eat shit game of thrones.  The bar for fairy tales was set high in my youth. Jesus rates as an also-ran in the overall field of good ghost stories. Bitching out a bunch of jews and then getting nailed to a piece of wood? Cmon...... Wink

So you've never stood up for something you believe in OP? That's all Jesus was doing, in that story.
