Probability that Jesus was God
July 9, 2015 at 12:39 am

This is a poll for atheists as it would be pointless for Christians to answer. But anyone can comment of course.
How would you compare the probability that Jesus was actually the biblical God (or the son of) to the probability that Sauron as described in Lord of the Rings existed at some point?
I'm granting a single historical Jesus that correlates with most of the NT for the sake of argument.
I vote less likely, since it's a more fantastical claim (that the God character exists compared to Sauron; the latter is more plausible).

Much less likely. About the same odds he was Caucasian too.

I'll say less likely that jesus was the son of god, than Sauron actually existing at some point in history. I'll say, if jesus, the man existed, it's much more likely that he was a fraud than Sauron actually existing.

Much less likely. Sauron is easier to explain than god
