There ARE Christians who do NOT believe he was God...

That's why I said a Christian might say rather than all Christians say. Smile

I agree it's all speculation.

What are "bad or missing" teeth without the perspective of our modern dentists? In order for their to be a judgement good or bad someone has to be there to point out the difference. If their were none who could effect change or rather fix what was bad or broken, then in this case teeth just become teeth and being crooked, hurt and falling out is just what they did. My question is why would Christ "fix something" just to meet a modern standard. God the son came to live among us, to endure our hardships and trials, and ultimately die having been tested with all this life can offer.

Apparently all the fucker could do were drive out the "demons" that were causing the teeth to hurt.

Absurd excuse for a god you have there.

According to the Bible, Jesus was a healer, not a dentist. He could have healed someone suffering from a tooth abscess but there was no way he could have given anyone modern dental treatment. I'm guessing this kind of thing would have applied to himself.

I'm an atheist so I don't believe that Jesus was God the son. I still think it's possible that there was an historical Jesus although he's been so obscured by legends it's impossible to discover the true details of his life now. If he did exist his teeth would have followed the general pattern of humans living in his place and time. I can't find any archaeological report about the condition of teeth in dug up bodies originating from this period in Palestine, though.

Why the fuck not?

He can raise the dead but dental hygiene is a step too far?

We can raise the dead ourselves now with medical treatment. Smile

I'm just looking at the Bible stories as stories taking place in a time before modern technology. Raising the dead is one thing but where would Jesus have got all the modern dental treatment technology from? For example, did anyone make dental drills in those days? And where would Jesus have found a source of electricity to power one? Big Grin

I think the more burning question is why did Jesus not give himself adamantium claws or the power to shoot lasers out of his eyes.

No imagination.

Or rather the people who invented him had no imagination.

Well, that settles it. The Jesus story needs a modern reboot.
