Have you found Jesus?

Because we'd like to bury him again and make sure he stays dead this time.

That a historical Jesus existed and walked the Earth seems at least certain.  At the same time he was viewed by the Jewish, Roman and Pagan (not a derogatory term, by the way) intelligentsia as being a religious loon not worthy of mention is just as certain.  The knew a nut when they saw one and would be amazed at the Christian cults of our day!

As I have said before ..... if Jesus was God, and God knows everything  ... It wasn't a sacrifice it was a suicide .....

That's been my position. The idea of a messianic preacher causing trouble in 1st century Palestine isn't all that far-fetched.  But we're not going to learn anything about him by reading the Gospels.

Or the epistles or heavily edited  "church history " (which hasn't always been the same early Christians were totally different then latter ones) As apologists insist

Here I refer to it as "nail up saviour weekend".

For dome reason some people hate that term.
