Oh well, I'll just debate with myself. Better than that, I'll MASS debate myself!
Refreshing to find someone who can see through jesus, but I assume he's still clinging to the god of the bible or something, I dunno.
It's funny how when I start talking about my personal experiences with god, I get put on block by theists. How about that. I must be crazy or lying huh?
Let me ask you something.
What is a god?

It depends entirely on who you ask. Everyone has their own definition. I don't even bother defining it because I'm not making any claims about them. What do you call a god?

Just all the people, as Jesus says.

If there was indeed a Jesus around that time, then that story fits.
But that sounds a bit like the Teacher of Righteousness story... but a few years after. What do you think?
Yes it does, however if I am correct about Jesus being a Nazarene- sub-sect of the Essene- then those very same teachings, opinions, and doctrines of the Teacher of Righteousness could have been learned by Jesus, since the Teacher of Righteousness is described as an Essene.
Nice! makes sense, of course.
Now... in your religious views, it says you're a believer. What do you believe in?

All the people? People are gods? I have no idea what that means.

One thing and one thing only.
Mat 22:39 And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The Christians are totally clueless as they spend all their time on religion, and can barely quote anything Jesus may have said.

OK, well it sounds to me like you're an atheist brucer, unless you have some other beliefs you're not mentioning. Just observing, not trying to pigeon hole you. If you define people as gods then, yes, there are lot of gods. I don't see the point of that though, unless you'd care to elaborate?
Why do you think anything jesus did or said is special or should be given any weight? He's just some guy, right? The golden rule is just common sense and predates jesus.
