Did you know you could make a poll directly on your thread? Trouble with opening that connector is I don't know you or what you might have in that url.
But here are my thoughts about Jesus. I've known a few gentlemen by that name, they certainly exist.
As to the Jesus H. Christ of the bible, I have no problem assuming there was someone who was involved in some of the stories attributed to him. Of course I don't think there was anything divine about him. Since I don't believe in any gods, I can't very well make an exception for him. I also think many of 'his' stories just represent attempts to work in stories from other myths.
Perhaps he was even a wise, somewhat enlightened individual. I can grant you lots of leeway without being the slightest bit inclined to start believing any of the touchy feely, supernatural crap.
