There is evidence that he WAS. Most historians agree. There is a link if you want it.
Whether or not he was a god is debatable. I think the evidence says; no.
We will always need Heroes; if not shut down Law Enforcement, Firemen, Hospitals and military.
Belief in a Cruel God makes a Crueler Man. Thomas Paine with minor edit crueler instead of cruel.
