If you lived in Jesus' day, how would you of responded?

Not that you believe, but let's just say that you lived and witness Jesus as He is described in Scripture. Out of curiosity, you listened to Him speak, you saw him heal, you witnessed the miracles, etc. How would you of reacted?

First, it would be interesting to see just exactly what there was to see. Maybe you'd be disappointed.

Secondly, the same hypothetical could be applied to any religion's cast of characters. If you had been there to witness Thor battle the ice giants, would you still be so sure Jesus/God was the only act in town?

Yup. I can't believe so many atheists here are playing this guy's game by actually answering the loaded question. He combined three hypothetical fantasy scenarios into one and tried to pretend it was only one. He acts like "if you lived in that time" was the only hypothetical scenario, and the whole bit about healing and miracles was assumed to be true. It's not.

If I lived back then, I still wouldn't have witnessed any healing or miracles, because there were none. I would have seen a Jewish guy preaching and probably would have disregarded him, because I never took religion all that seriously even when I was Jewish.

As CapnAwesome pointed out, there's been a definite decline in claims of miracles as the understanding of science has advanced. People are better at thinking rationally and not believing any charlatan with a fake miracle to perform. Not that I think Jesus was a charlatan who pretended to perform miracles. Even if he did exist (still an open question in my mind, but I tend to accept that assumption for the sake of avoiding a debate about a subject I don't know or really care much about), it's a pretty safe bet that he wasn't going around claiming to be performing miracles. All that stuff was written into the books that became the Bible 30+ years later. Those writers would seem to be the ones who made up the claims about miracles, not Jesus himself.
