Intelligent Atheists: Who/What Was Jesus?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Jesus was an imaginary character Paul created to sell his religion of resurrection.  He selected the name "Jesus" to tie his imaginary character to other characters with the same name equivalent who were supposedly wise scholars.  He wanted him to have credibility instead of using the name of some unknown dummy.

Later on Paul's disciples wrote the Gospels as "prequels" to show Jesus' teachings and life story.  Everything they knew about Jesus they got from Paul or simply made up.  They also added some of the acts of the three main rebel leaders against the Romans and attributed them to the Jesus character in their stories.

That's not an intelligent response. If you were correct and there was nothing before Paul's writings in the 50's AD how do you explain the epistles of James and Jude and the gospels?

Both Paul himself and Luke in Acts says Paul was a zealous Jew; so how do you explain his dramatic conversion if he invented Jesus?

Finally, the sayings of Jesus are quire different to Paul, so how do you explain that?

Pay attention:

I said that Paul invented the Jesus character to sell his religion of resurrection.  Paul's disciples wrote the Gospels as a backstory to Paul's character.  Paul's focus was on resurrection.  He didn't say very much about the imaginary Jesus character except to say that he came back from the dead and that if the dummies believed that then they would as well.  

Paul created Christianity and established its basic rules and rituals.  As time passed and the religion splintered people tossed a lot of those rules and rituals into the trash can.  The only ritual the Jesus character ever gave was the one of communion.  

BTW, the Paul character was one of the greatest liars in the entire Bible.  He said and did whatever it took to convince the dummies of the BS that he was spewing.  

James and Jude supposedly knew Jesus but they hardly mention him at all.  James thought that prayers and magic oil could cure sickness.  Jude spent most of his very short message rambling about stuff that happened in the Old Testament.
