But the writings would still have been written even without him, and would still have changed the world, they'd simply have anointed someone else as the deity.which is my point. we have no proof as such that he (the jesus they said was god) for all we know it could have been an invented jesus.
as for the good things that were attributed to him, most of the same sayings have been attributed to many of the gods through the ages.
even Confucius is quoted with many quotes from the bible (he died bc)
my point is; jesus, the god version; was a fictitious person. they can't even say for sure and it seems to be far from the truth "the jesus" or even "A jesus was pitted against "A barabus" etc. so for me we only have proof "the god jesus" didn't exist. i understand it doesn't mean a lot, i'm of the same mind on a personal level but it already seems to be a fairly open discussion.
