There is nothing that he alledgedly said that is of evidentiary value, and there is nothing of evidentiary value to show he actually said any of the nothing he putatively said
He is nothing, squared, as support or guide or evidence during serious exploration of reality.
So the author and inspiration of a given religion is not 'expert' enough to comment on his own religion?
Wouldn't that be like Not taking the word of Elon Musk on a raptor engine design of his own making?
What a remarkably silly question. Would a liar be expert enough to make his lies true?
also, what amazingly total ignorance of the meaning of “reality” you betray. Reality is not what “expert’ says. It is what they can show under scrupulous and never ending examination. Also elon didn’t design or make the raptor engine. He caused it to be made. And neither his word, nor the words of his engineers who actually designed and made the engine and who can be specifically identified and named, means anything at all if the principles they espouse for the engine is not otherwise proven and verifiable, or if the engine itself could not be presented for examination and demonstrated to work under testing of scrupulous rigor and in actual use.
See how far “pay me now for these fantastic engines and it will work wonderfully for you after you die in circumstances no one living can observe” get even Elon.
Which, incidentally, is not far short of what the actual Elon musk really did try to pull with his Full self drive promise to buyers of Tesla, but even he in the end had to produce a semi-working FSD that actually can be touched and felt, and above all tested, thus making him a far less braggadocios of liar then this alleged messiah of yours.
