I'm with you (well... up until the 'and was probably a pretty great guy'!). A man with the name Jesus (or whatever his name was in his language) most probably did exist. Son of god, saviour of man? Certainly not. Current days in London, he may be the guy on his soap box in Speakers Corner, possibly creating disruption and being arrested. Maybe he was even a bit of an anarchist or revolutionary! It is also very likely that this 'Jesus' is not even one person but a myth put together based on several people/events (a bit like King Arthur - though I would really, really like for King Arthur to have been a real person!).
aren't we all supposed to be children of god, though? doesn't christianity teach that god is our father and who creates us? so wouldn't that make us the son or daughter of god, too?
Philippians 2:5-6

Yup, continue to create any story you want. :roll:
Why would you think shouting Jesus was an Arab in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan would be a problem then?
IMO you would be in a helluva lot more danger shouting that in certain areas of the United States.0 -

i think jesus was a half alien and mary was artifically inceminadated by an alien race trying to help us change our ways, but in the end did more damage then good. but i know this isn't a popular theory.0

to quote Stephen Stills "Jesus Christ was the first non-violent revolutionary". Jesus was born a Jew, although I'm not sure he was born in Arabia. If most Christians followed the teachings of Jesus: blessed are the peace makers, turn the other cheek, blessed are the meek, etc, they would be better human beings. But according to the christians I know you must believe in the virgin birth and resurrection to be saved and go to heaven. Accordingly, to not believe is a sure fire (pun intended) ticket to hell.

What???? Should I believe this Jesus person, son of god, exists he's my............................. brother?!?!?!?! :shock:0 -
God is love, or just believe in love. Being kind to others brings more kindness. Believing is comforting and personal and is the way of some hearts. There is no right or wrong if you but love and keep your heart open. Try to live without fear, understand and not judge others, including Jesus and those that choose to have him live in their hearts.0

Based on what evidence? There is no historical evidence attesting to his existence during 0 A.D - 33 A.D whatsoever.
The most important historical documents of the time in that part of the world make no mention of him.Post edited by Byrnzie on0 -

The mythological figure of Jesus. He didn't actually exist, but for arguments sake, if he did, then he was an Arab. I just get the impression that many middle American, church going patriots would rather forget this fact, and instead prefer to imagine him as one of their own:
Nah, that's not Jesus, that guys currently just taking up the position of CEO at Holby City.
