[quote=Anonymous]There’s no proof, no evidence. If you are wondering how tons of people started fabricating stories about a person that never existed, or if he did, was not anything more than a poor man who had some radical things to say, I will first refer you to the childhood game of telephone. Remember in those days people died young: 40-80 years might seem like a short time, but that could be 2-3 generations of oral traditions getting progressively larger and more embellished. Plenty of time to turn a broke bastard (in the actual sense, no judgment) into a miracle working son of God.

And then you can look at more modern examples where people invented religions out of whole cloth, like Mormonism and Scientology, and just how quickly people latched on.

It’s called faith for a reason - you have no proof and are being asked to believe anyway. The most credible stories have elements of truth. Historians really do think there was a great flood in the Middle East based on how many different cultures have myths surrounding it. But did Noah fill an ark with two of every species? No. That’s a story to explain why people survived despite a great flood. Other cultures have other stories. [/quote]
