4) Do you believe that Jesus was a real person? 5) Or do you believe that he was just made up by the disciples? 6) How much of the story do you think is true?
1) If he existed then I think his death is a highly probable outcome.
2) Anonymous uncorroborated hearsay.
3) I have no objective reason to believe anything supernatural is possible.
4) Not enough evidence to be sure.
5) Why is that an option, what evidence supports this?
6) There is some scant independent evidence the Roman authorities executed a political prisoner, in a pretty common way (crucifixion), this prisoner is claimed to have had a common enough name.
