Jesus was basically part of the PR campaign for Christianity that was the new testament. If you believe in it then you believe Jesus is part of the holy trinity. He is God, God is him. If you don't believe it then at best Jesus was a man. A man who, if accounts are remotely accurate, was the David Blaine of his day with the added bonus of having abit of an entourage. Of course the case could be made that Jesus didn't exist due to a total lack of evidence outside of religious works. For my purposes its irrelevant which, I don't really care. Although I would guess its abit of both. A man existed but what we read about him is mostly myth.
I now have a question for you; if someone was not intelligent to the point of being extremely unintelligent would they be aware of it?
They may not be self-consciously aware for significant periods of time. Despite this, the intention is to attract more 'intelligent' debate whenever possible, even if extreme unintelligence is inevitably unavoidable. Even if one possesses intelligence, one can still demonstrate ranges of intelligence regarding different topics. In that sense, intelligence can be seen as a sliding scale which one may be capable of choosing to engage with or not.
I now have a question for you; is it intelligent to respond to topics which one considers irrelevant and does not care about?
