>>12923435>There's no evidence Zeus existed.There's no evidence < insert any gods here> existed either.
>The mythology around him reads more like myth than history.That certainly reads like your opinion, man.
> I don't have "gods", there is only God.What about your Elohim? Pantheon of gods? Haven't you ever read your bible or torah or koran?
>He is the most well attested to historical figure. False. There's zero historicity for the Jesus character, only references to his followers decades later. Which is evidence of another kind. Let's say you just met your Jesus. You two speak for 20 minutes. What would you do next?
( ) Tell everyone on the planet who would listen to you and write it all down immediately?
(●) Say nothing to anyone, keep it to yourself for 30 years and then write it down.
There are charlatans like Roland Kessler who write tell-all ((( biographies ))) of people he's met in passing, but he waits until they die so he can make any hysterical claim he wants and no one can call him out for his lies. This is deliberately deceptive behavior to maximize sensationalism while evading accountability. Sound familiar?
> based on the amount of time since He rose from the deadYou are purposefully blurring the lines between people who might believe Jesus was a real person and other people who fanatically believe all magical realism, miracles and other elements of faith.
>when you could have talked to the people who saw Him directly.Now you have ventured into the Synoptic Problem. Only 1 book of the synoptic texts is considered to be the original, the other 3 are vague copies. And the writer of Luke even admits in the first paragraph he never met the Jesus character.
> Zeus is supposedly a guy who exists in time and space. That's not what Christians believe about God. Do you follow the 10 Commandments as if they have any special significance? If Moses the stone-chiseler says it, it's good enough for you?
