Thing is, for every convincing positive account, there's a convincing negative account!!

And I really am an atheist because I personally don't believe a god exists but also agnostic as I don't claim certainty. I simply want to know the TRUTH.
I personally am still veering on the side that Jesus was just a bit of a myth, at least in terms of what he actually did during his life. Why? Because it stands out so much on history and just doesn't make SENSE in the context of what we now know about our history and origins.
Although what that guy in the vid said about Jesus inspiring so many followers to start a church is interesting, but then he as far as I can see presents the most obvious case against his OWN point there by saying Mohammed was a fake. Yet look how many followers Mohammed amassed!! And Mohammed and Jesus AFAIK said conflicting things.
Just because someone amasses a lot of followers doesn't necessarily on its own mean they were in actuality anything special (other than convincing!)
