You do realize that centuries after the fact, we cannot be sure of this?

Religion is all something we make up to give life some meaning and to let us sleep at night.  None of us have any idea.  [/quote]

I think it’s even questionable there was a dude named Jesus. People make up stories all of the time.

"Jesus" is the Greek form of Yehoshua (Joshua) - the name of the successor of Moses.   There were undoubtedly LOTS of people named Joshua/Jesus at the time.  The question is whether any had lives that matched at least SOME of the incidents in the gospels.

That is or used to be called "the search for the historic Jesus"?  As noted above there is very very thin support outside the gospels.  Whether the gospel accounts of at least the crucifixion could be made up - as noted above, it would have been a public act if it took place.  On the other hand the gospels themselves were written down some years later than the event. [/quote]

There were lots of crucifixions in those days.   Some biblical scholars think that if Jesus was crucified, he was eaten by dogs, which was common practice in those days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nhOhCTIul4   Christian apologists disagree, but no one has any proof so no one really knows.[/quote]
