Quote:6. The wonderful concepts and ways to live that Jesus displayed are too true to come from someone who would lie about the rest of what He taught.
No true Scotsman fallacy. Plus, Christian moral teachings are neither true nor false. They are a moral code which millions of people cherry pick to suit. The miraculous elements seem to be mythology,in the absence of any evidence whatsoever.
Quote:5. This man was humble.
Well actually he could be a bit of an arrogant turd, if you accept the New Testament. Perhaps begin with 'the dark sayings of Jesus'.
Quote:1. Jesus did not kill anybody
We don't know that.
Quote:4. Forgiveness is a wonderful concept and only someone filled with love would want to demonstrate that.
Bollocks.No true Scotsman again.
That forgiveness is a wonderful thing as a principle is a statement of moral belief,not of fact. Forgiveness can be very a powerful pragmatic tactic. EG Julius Caesar used it sometimes against his political enemies.
