I disagree, but let’s say that’s true for the sake of this discussion. Jesus was just a regular man, born naturally, who died on the cross and was not resurrected. He’s still the most impactful person of the last two millennia, his teachings still are relevant and important parts of our culture, and the Christian tradition should be carried on.

Everyone does not watch porn, and porn is bad. Same for Drake and vaccines. I’m trying to be polite and have a real discussion here but it’s pretty intellectually dishonest to say that Christianity is equivalent to porn, drake, and vaccines. You can assess the goodness of something for yourself based on its history and its teachings. And you can even criticize the history of the Church while still acknowledging how culturally influential it was. It’s hugely arrogant and stupid to assume everyone for two thousand years was just part of some “bandwagon fallacy”.

They would kill you for not believing that Jesus was magic. Jesus was just a guy. The Romans needed a reason to worship him so that their leaders could use it to manipulate them, so they made him magic. But he was just a guy. They copied half the mythology from what they knew about other religions. Anyone can find enlightenment or become a spiritual teacher if they devote their life to it. Doesn't require virgin birth or any other miracles to achieve.

You’re putting words in my mouth. Didn’t say they were equivalent. I used those as an example of the bandwagon fallacy. Your argument was that Christianity is good because Jesus was so impactful. I’m arguing that other things are more impactful than Jesus. More people watch porn than worship Jesus. So porn is more impactful than Jesus but that doesn’t mean it’s good. In other words, how impactful something is does not mean it is good or right. Your argument is wrong.

Lol where did I say equivalent. Look up bandwagon fallacy. How are you going to call me intellectually dishonest when you are arguing without understanding the terminology I’m using? Also what good are you talking about? The world literally went backwards when Christianity spread. Science was abandoned for religion. The earth became the center of the universe again. Holy wars left and right. Christians killing each other trying to maintain control over the church. You’re completely misinformed.

I’m just saying it’s the only explanation that’s is plausible; if there was or is god(s) from other worlds if they can travel from another star system I’m sure they can figure out artificial insemination. To survive on earth without space suits you need to procreate with a human. I’m not saying this is what happened I’m just saying it’s the only possibility that seems plausible if we assume that gods/aliens are real and have visited earth.
What if a whole bunch of charismatic people claimed it on her behalf after she died and wrote it down in writing so it became a myth and then the myth became accepted as a truth and people were willing to die for that truth. You’d be more likely to believe it then. If she told you straight up you’d tell her she was crazy. We all would. Even the hardcore Christians.
No, here is something to verify. “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Now look up: When did Isaiah live? What is the oldest dated Isaiah scroll we found?
