I believe that Jesus of Nazareth existed as a historical person, but was a complete crank, a nut job. I believe that he was an apocalyptist who believed in a flat Earth and that an angel from Heaven would descend from the sky to liberate the Jews from the Romans. When he took his message from Northern Galilee to Jerusalem, the Romans crucified him without so much as a historical footnote.
And, so, what's the point of the Bible for someone like me, apart from its value in Shakespearean literature?
