Oh, I just thought of something that would be hilarious to upload to Youtube. Video of Jesus in various movies set to "Whip My Hair" by Willow Smith. Because he has such gorgeous long, flowing locks.

I'd arm wrestle him so that I could tell people I was more powerful than the creator of the universe.

Anyway...
I once saw David Copperfield in a large concert hall. He blew my fucking mind. At one point he even flew out over the audience. NO ONE had any clue as to how he did it.
Guess what, that night I prayed to David Copperfield and he now lives inside my heart. He doesn't say anything to me, but I talk to him all the time and I know he loves me. The best part is when he helps me do stuff. Like, yesterday I couldn't find my wallet all day, but when I finally gave my problems over to David, he showed me my wallet when I sat down on the couch to watch TV... there it was!! Even better - this one time, my brother was having a graduation party and it was going to be outside. So I prayed to David Copperfield that it wouldn't rain ........... AND IT DIDN'T!

So yeah, I would totally get on board with Jesus if I saw him doin some sweet miracles. That's how I roll.
Now of course I know that that was just a hypothetical question and that jesus is just an ancient myth, but if you'd like to know the love and peace of David Copperfield, I'd love to answer your questions and lead you on your way to REAL happiness.

I'd think he's a cool guy who knows how to partay

But would jesus pass the joint? Puff puff give...

If not, Jesus is a douchebag. (The below Youtube video is audio only, no exciting video to watch.)

You're pretty much asking, "If there was proof of God's existence, would you believe in God's existence?" This isn't a yes or no question. It's a loaded question with only one correct answer. And until there is such proof, either for God's existence or that there were true miracles 2000 years ago, then the question of how to treat that proof isn't even worth discussing.

I didn't ask "If there was proof of God's existence, would you believe in God's existence?" Rather, if there was a Jesus who indeed was performing real miracles how would you respond to that?

Exactly how is "If there was proof of God's existence" different than "if there was a Jesus who indeed was performing real miracles"? Given the Christian assumption of Jesus as God, performing "real miracles" would be proof to support God's existence.

This is like asking "If you were there on the Death Star, and Darth Vader choked you without physically touching you, would you believe in The Force?" It's a loaded question with only one correct answer: "Yes, when faced with indisputable proof of the impossible, I would believe the impossible", which is exactly the same as the only correct answer to your question. And it's equally relevant to your question.

So it's all about the miracles. Interesting.

And it's "How would you have".

I'm sorry, but I need you to come clean the coffee spots off my monitor. It's your fault after all.

So, I suppose in your religion this would be considered apostate viewing material?
Will you get disfellowshiped if you're caught watching it?

Were I feeling mean, I'd say that it would take a miracle to hit a target so small.
