It seems more believable to me that Jesus was simply a charismatic leader whose stories were continually exaggerated until the point of seeming god-like. Eventually, out of these stories grew an entire mythology to give people a way to explain the unexplainable and to try and convince people that they are accountable for their actions. Doesn't this seem like a more likely explanation then the son of god was on earth and then disappeared along with any evidence of the existence of god? Note: I do actually believe in god (in some form) because there is no real explanation for why there is something vs. nothing, but the whole literal mythologies (ie. the Bible, the Koran, etc.) around religion seem completely fabricated and intended more to teach moral lessons and philosophies then describe actual events. This same logic can be applied to the formation of basically any religion.
