Jesus? Is that you?

I'd say the man was a revolutionary. A not very effective one.
He was a Jewish man in a country occupied by a Roman
garrison that liked to do a little slaughtering for fun now and
then. The magic stuff was added later.

 

[SlipperFan]

I think he existed but he probably looked more like Demis Roussos.

Problem though, is that people still believe all the magic stuff. He was just another politician. And a very effective one!

You do know that there is absolutely no historical evidence of his existence? A passing reference in Josephus has been proven to be inserted long after Josephus' death.

No evidence, of course, but a powerful symbol for an
oppressed people. As a symbol, I like Masada and there
actually is evidence for the existence of Masada and a lot
of myths as well.

It's joseph smith, the true native american hahahhaa

No evidence, of course, but a powerful symbol for an
oppressed people.

The whole symbol reads: 'a powerful symbol for an oppressed people who turn oppressors afterwards'.

That is why I prefer the 'lennon-types', those women and men who don't seek to gain power and believe in humanity. With the added advantage that they really did live.

Amen.

You see Israel as an oppressor or are you speaking in
general? I see Israel as my homeland that has taken
oppression for thousands of years and has finally had to
fight to survive at all. The Spanish Inquisition brought my family to this country before it was a country to
escape oppression or death.

 

[Secundino]

Yes, I do, both in fact.
Just have a look at the numbers of refugees.

That's why its called 'faith'.

I won't argue with that.
