Jesus' Resume...WHAT DID HE DO?
What did Jesus ever do, that we can see, to improve the lives of mankind?
As a Prophet, what prophecies did Jesus ever make that have been fulfilled?
Jesus was a charismatic orator....he said some great sayings.....but what did he ever do?
IMO, all we have from Jesus are unfulfilled promises. We have nothing concrete that we can see. Did Jesus die for your sins? How can you tell if he did or not? How can you tell if you still have sins or not?
Jesus' Resume...WHAT DID HE DO? IMO ...NOTHING MEANINGFUL.

If there wasn't a Jesus or a Muhammad, there would've been a Robert or Ahmad or Giuseppe to keep the masses in 'their place'.

Who was Christ? Isn't this just a title?

It is hard for me to hate a forever mythical personage just because someone declared that he was god. There are many different gods. I have studied the bible and read it through. The problem is that the older I got the more I discovered that I do not believe in any of these gods.

Since age 13, I have been an atheist. I realized the Bible is just a book of stories or fables like Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Beginning at age five when I had to go to Sunday school, I scoffed at ridiculous Bible stories: Jesus rose from the dead, a woman turned into stone, parting of the Red Sea, Noah's Ark, etc. Inwardly rolled my eyes.

Michigan had a hard winter when I was 13. Bored and restless, my brother Lee, 10, and I read the World Book Encyclopedias together.

I was inspired by rational philosophers Spinoza and Descartes. They were bravely anti-theist (anti-gods), anti-church and anti-clergy in the 1600s when heretics were burned at the stake. They had to go into hiding.

The writings of rational philosophers Spinoza and Descartes inspired the European Enlightenment. The Enlightenment Period of the 17th and 18th centuries emphasized science and reason over faith and superstition.

‘Christ’ was a concept, perhaps not even a person. Humanity’s nearly as likely to worship a rock. ‘He’s’ just another god, based on the image of it’s followers..

To be fair I think the blame would be mostly on those who came after Jesus. Jesus was most likely just a Jew who followed the Jewish Law who believed God was coming back during his own lifetime to overthrow the evil forces controlling the earth and to set up a physical kingdom on the earth. After his followers believed he was resurrected myths and fabrications and things he never even taught or would have dreamed of teaching became attributed to him.

Alright then. I'm going to write a book on a person who died three hundred years ago. I don't have the "internet" or library. There are no books to read and most were not permitted to read or didn't know how. Only the rich were permitted to own books.
So, where do I get information on this person who died three hundred years ago?

Jesus of Nazareth was a historical person, mentioned by chroniclers of the times.
There is no historical record of anything the guy did, taught, or said. Just that he existed, in context of some vague disturbances in that area of the empire.

"The beloved St. Thomas Aquinas believed women were put here on Earth solely for procreation and to tempt men to commit sin." Actually, from just my experience and a purely pragmatic view, everything women do makes sense if viewed from the perspective that they are harpies sent by the gods to punish men. While I find that statement amusing, most women do not for some reason that I do not understand.

Hate Jesus? A mythical creation? That would be like so stupid.

This is one of the strangest posts ever. You're all over the map and I have no idea what your point is. ... You haven't asked anything, only made statements about what "we" (all people?) should feel, think and believe. ... Sorry, you lose. I will choose for myself what I should and should not do.

i know the wolves will rush in as soon as i leave, not sparing the flock

"Hate" is a byproduct of fear. "Judging" is an act of self-defense.

You have several different points that I could comment on but I will just pick a few for brevity.

You said, "...saints born centuries later were among the most evil and sick people that ever lived. Men like St. Dominic, the founder of the Spanish Inquisition, a sadist ..."

In new testament biblical text of the book of Hebrews"the word of God is a double edge sword, ... judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Word of God refering to old testiment law of the nation of Israel from over 2000 years ago.

We can look back in history and see how those people used biblical text for their own evil desires. We can see how biblical text can be used to understand hygine and quarantine practices: Wash hands after touching a dead body and quarantine a person showing skin rash or infection to be required to stay out side the city until clear. These biblical principles were not used by those in the middle ages that had control over people and yet didn't teach them hygiene or sanitary practices.

Mass hysteria grows unchecked!!!

Seems most of you on this site are still caught up in this mystical BS!!!

Any one can write any thing, the trick is too get moronic idiotic individuals to believe it as fact!!!

mien Kampf is the best example in the last century, just like the Mao’s red book!!!

My belief is that what happened before and during the life of christ was an absolute mess. We don't even know how many 'Jesus' characters were around at the time. I have heard that it was 3. Each one could have been turned delusional by previously hearing and trying to fulfill the predictions that were sent ahead of him. Almost certainly there was a"Ringmaster" at this circus -possibly Paul and without sure and recorded conversations between them how can we be sure of anything in the gospels. We do not know whether the happenings were cultural, religious or political. All Saints and commentators watching what had happened and having ' caught ' the delusion and wanting power and preferential treatment were ordinary men who did mostly not even think of fully involving women. However all were human. This species throughout history has been shown to consist of good, bad and downright evil . It was however the by-standers who let the evil unfold.
It was Jesus who decided when his invisible father had given up on him. He could have stayed alive by confessing and repenting on his delusions in front of the Romans. Instead he saw the chance to be the big Martyr, setting a precedent for all other martyrs to join the virgins and meet dad. This alone is the reason to shun Jesus if not hate him. Hate does more to motivate humans away from goodness than is realized because it is silent as well as expressed out loud. Yes Christianity was a Movement , but movement in an unknown direction.
