Even though I'm a Christian, I'm thinking about going just because it is not that far away and could be fun.
So let's say there was some guy that was used as a template for Jesus, I mean there were certainly people that were described of living similar lives back then, like Jesus ben Ananias would that make you feel more comfortable then if Jesus was completely invented? Would that show if Gun Loving Jesus of Republicans is more right then Gun Hating And Medicare Loving Jesus of Democrats was right?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
