For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus

Wouldn't a sword wielding dynamo, on a winged horse suit a conqueroring saviour much better, in your atheistic opinions? Really now...what harm can a poor, lovable carpenter from Nazareth afford you, or anyone else for-that-matter?

I think you are selling that godling a bit short.

Exorcizing thousands of demons in a day? Casting devils into pigs and forcing them to leap off of cliffs? Disrupting a Temple event by trashing all of the trading going on and being the tough guy when such an act could have gotten his throat slashed? Killing a fig tree with his magic stare? And then picking up a severed ear and sticking it back on as part of a sword battle?

And so much more! Oh yeah, and he is a god that talks to himself a lot. ("Father...")

So don't play the "poor little carpenter meek and mild" card. It doesn't fly when you create a god.
