Were there prophesies for more than a 1000 years about all the details of your life? Jesus did not come for political power either. I would not describe his teaching as crazy because I am enjoying the benefits of being his disciple.
I don't trust most eyewitness accounts from last week, let alone 20 centuries ago. I'll be impressed by a prophecy when concrete, detailed, plainly-written, precisely-timed predictions come true to the minute. Vague nonsense in the bible doesn't interest or impress me, and does nothing to suggest inspiration from an all-knowing God, who must certainly be capable of better.
