Re: Your thoughts on Jesus
[ QUOTE ]
I have been an atheist for several years but have had problems knowing what to make of the Jesus character everybody seems to like.

It's not relevant whether he existed. The street corner near the Art Gallery has a guy claiming to be the son of god and preaching redemption. If jesus was a real person, there's no reason to think any of the claims he made or that are made about him now are true.
Once a minor personality cult catches on it's hard for followers to accept that at the time the person was not even a footnote. In any case, what would it matter if he existed or not, since it can never be disproved.
If he was real, he seems likely to be a disturbed new-ager (considering the context of the times).
