Who was Jesus?

Was Jesus a self-righteous prick, or just a weird guy with some good ideas?

Ask a fictional person.

They would have a better inside on the answer.

"A delusional rabbi," in my opinion.

Granted, this is coming from someone who thinks that who he was doesn't automatically mean his teachings should be followed, should he have existed.  So, you know, grain of salt.

One, or several persons, that after death people made fantastical stories about and attributed magical powers to as time progressed.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

First, you will have to prove there was ever any "jesus" at all.

What we know is that there was a plethora of mad jewish rabbis wandering the levant at the time and we have evidence for those mad rabbis. But there is no evidence at all for jesus.

Explain why we have evidence for all those mad rabbis, but none for jesus.

A very charismatic teacher of a view of the divine that appealed to the poor and downtrodden. A socialist at heart who was given a platform...
