I'm not a believer but their is decent evidence to suggest that Jesus was a real guy.
Ok, even if there was a guy named Jesus (which, like, there were thousands; that name was super popular at the time), this guy wasn't god. The meme says the bible is their proof that god exists, not that some guy named Jesus existed.
But a schizophrenic guy named Jesus must have been much rarer.
There's decent evidence Tom Holland is a real guy too
Lies and heresy.
Not really. There is no contemporary evidence and all tales about him were written decades or centuries after his purported life. And even if there was a preacher named Jesus that got executed by the Romans for sedition, that still doesn't make any of the supernatural claims any more plausible.
Jesus and John the Baptist were historical figures.
That's still a big maybe.
That’s one of the passages. The passage about Jesus being the brother of James is not historically disputed.
I’m willing to concede that original passage likely had the part about him performing miracles and explicitly calling him the Messiah was a later alteration, knowing that Josephus did not convert to Christianity, but the passage was not invented out of whole cloth.
But is there an evidence that he was a son of god?
No. That's why it's religion, because it is based on faith. If there were enough evidence then it would be science, or objective fact.
Yeah, he was a normal guy
"sup, name's Jesus, you guys into 40k?"
Who is more likely to be real. Robin Hood or Jesus?
Can you name any such evidence?
There's as much evidence to support a dude named Jesus lived in Nazareth, as there is that a guy named Sam lives in current-day New York.
A few hundred to a few thousand Jesuses likely lived in Nazareth.
