Humans have been inventing gods since the dawn of civilization. "Jesus" is the king of special pleading.
Not really. He wasn't originally a god. Interpreting "son of god" to mean "god incarnate" came pretty late in the evolution of the religion.
Also, Zeus doesn't have scholars like Bart Ehrman vouching for their historicity.
Edit: I don't really give much of a fuck whether Jesus was real or not. Which is why I tend to just listen to Bart Ehrman and say, "What that guy says."
A Gemma is forever.
