Answer 1

There was no such person as Yeshua ben Nazareb. It is a fictional being, invented by committee 1700 years ago, a retelling of other "saviours" from other religions. I'll borrow my own words from another posting:

----------------------------------------
The word "christ" is a corruption of the ancient Greek word "christos", or saviour, and that word is itself a corruption of the Hindu god Krishna.

There have been more than a dozen "saviours" predating christian mythology, most of them borrowing from each other. You'll also notice that their years of origin go east (oldest) to west (newest), following the "Silk Road" from China between 600 BCE (2600 years ago) until 200 CE.

Krishna
Buddha
Osiris
Mithras
Dionysus
Heracles

Among many others. Most were born shortly after the winter solstice (Dec. 22), most were born to virgins screwed by a "god", and most "suffered" before they "died" and "went to heaven".

It's the same stupid fairy tale, regurgitated and retold with local bits added on as it went place to place.
----------------------------------------

Here's question you won't have an answer for: If you jeebus was such a troublemaker in the land of Palestine, why do the Roman's written records of their occupation make no mention of such a person nor do the dozens of writers from that time, whose words we still have today (eg. Pliny the Elder), not make any mention of such a person?

Nobody talked about "jeebus" because "jeebus" wasn't there. No such person ever existed.

Answer 2

Discount the supernatural aspects of the Jesus storyline as myth but appreciate the more gentle, moral qualities of his teachings and wish so-called Christians adhered to them more.

Answer 3

Edit: Nothing, what could anyone possibly do about someone that may have existed 2000 years ago?

Answer 4

Give him a quarter outside the check cashing place on the corner, like we do every payday.

THE QUESTION OF JESUS IS NOT IMPORTANT, WHATS IMPORTANT IS ARE YOU LIVING IN TRUTH, TAKING YOUR LUMPS AS THEY COME AND ALL THE WAY TO THE END. AND BY DOING SO LEARNING IN YOUR SPIRIT!!
