How do you explain the historical figure of Jesus?

The existence of an historical figure does not make it any more likely that a god exists. I've eaten spaghetti before. I know spaghetti exists. Does that mean I should be less dismissive of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

And some of the teachings condemning certain things do have credit.

We don't need religion to tell us this anymore though.

Jesus was a great philosopher. He was human.

I'm an atheist.

If the historical figure claimed to be god, and backed up his claim with evidence, and that evidence seems to be sound, then it does.

But that's just it - WHERE is the evidence that he was a god?

Jesus wasnt a god, it was his father who was also his son or something.
it all makes perfect sense when you read the bibel.

Jesus was just a symbol and the bible is just a guideline for life. It's not real.

The historical records of his claimed "miracles", the credibility of his teachings, his charisma, his great goodwill, and his masses of followers.

Doesn't mean they actually happened.

So this means his father was a god?

his charisma,

Hitler had charisma as well.

Again, how does this make him/his father a god?

Anubis wrote:

Lots of people throughout history have had masses of followers.

None of this is evidence that he was anything more than human.

The miracles, if real, might be suggestive of divinity if not explained otherwise.

The rest of your evidence any decent human could pull off. It suggests nothing.

In order to provide a balanced argument, all relevant factors must be taken into consideration.
How did Jesus get so many followers, even after his death, who remain to this day? Why did so many people convert to Christianity, even the Roman Emperor?

One thing we know for certain about him was that he preached goodwill, and died on a crucifix, leaving behind his teachings. Whether or not he was the son of a God is then the question that remains afterwards. Would you not want to be his friend, despite any doubts about his holiness?

Jesus isn't real, and a penis would decay into nothing after that long of time. It's a fictional story.

It's just a symbol; love everyone no matter what they do to you and follow your own beliefs, don't get caught up following others. The man who does this seems otherwordly.

The bible is a manual for thought and living as well as a comfort blanket that keeps the soul warm.

What does that have to do with it? Doesn't prove his daddy was a god.

Please answer the question. People followed him because they loved him as their "saviour", and he at least appeared to love them.
