What lead you away from christianity?
And if you were never a christian, why not? You do not find the NT convincing that Jesus is the Christ?
So, what do you think happened back then? What did the witnesses of Jesus see? Why did they consider him the Christ?
I was raised completely without religion. I have never signed up to one religion or another.
There are fantastically wise and intelligent people who are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. etc. There are Christians from whom we should all be learning. People far smarter than I am disagree with one another, and I don't know who is ultimately correct. I am not bigoted enough to say that all the people in a particular religion are irrational or lack dignity and intellectual honesty, so I respect different kinds of people, and I don't sign up to play team sports.
I don't know exactly what happened during Jesus's lifetime. It requires a great deal of study to distinguish what is history and what is myth. Until we have done that study we have no business declaring what's what. Learning to read properly is a beginning but is not sufficient.
Do you think that any none sense is present in the NT, anything that you would say “This is obviously none sense coming from primitive humans”?
Do you think that any none sense is present in the OT?
