Yes...but I would only go so far.
People who say that Jesus is the one and only true God are completely in the dark. Try looking at the lives of dozens and doznes of sages from other religions and even within christianity who are said to have resurrected long before Jesus ever came around. St. patrick, St. Rose, St. Xavier, St. John, Padreo Pio, Catherine of Assisi all wrote about resurrecting people in their own experience. In the bible, Jesus taught John to raise Lazarus from the dead...and he did. Lazarus further went on to do the same with others. What Jesus did, we can do and more.
As far as thinking that the birth of Jesus was somehow special...go your local library and look at the lives of Krishna, Osirus, Mithras, Attis, Dyonisus and many others whom were:
- were born of a virgin
- Also fortold by 'three wiseman'
- born on the 25th.
- remained for 3 days before a resurrection
- formed a group of 12 for fellowship
- traveled the country-side and were often called 'the light of the world,' or 'the way, the truth and the light.'

Yes he was very real. Is God real? Yes he is and the Lord Christ is also God himself because he said so. This is written in the bible. Read the book of Matthew and Mark an Luke. These books are talking about the Lord Jesus when he was on this earth. He came down and died for his elects sins on the cross. So those he elected will live forever.

I believe that people need to believe that there is someone watching over them. That a lot of people would just gave up life if they knew there was no one waiting for them after they die. I believe the church made up the belief that god created as and that you have to follow his teachings in order to control the people. I was raise a catholic but I question that if there is a god why he lets good people suffer and bad people go unpunished, why he gives so much to some places in this world and next to nothing in others.

I believe a man named Jesus of Nazareth lived and died about 2000 years ago. Do I believe that he was the Christ? Do I believe that there is such a thing as the Christ? No.

And I believe this is a question asked by a person in need of an ego boost. Have fun reading all the post from the people who agree with you thus washing away your insecurities.

Yes I believe he was a real person. He was in fact a real person.
It was widely reported he was the son of god, not god.
I dont think you will find any document where he himself claimed to be the son of god though he refered to god as his father.
Whenever asked if he was the son of god he only ever responded "your words not mine".
Jesus was a christian.
He is not , in my opion, my lord or saviour.
At last count there seems to be several gods who's followers claim is the one and only god.
You asked.

Of course he's real; I met him when was having a nightmare
just last night; had to kill twice because the first time he ressuscitated.
I'm afraid to tell you that he's no longer; what a pity.

There is no physical or contemporary historical evidence of any kind that anyone named Jesus or anyone that could have been Jesus, ever lived in the first place. There is no description of what Jesus might have looked like from anyone who would have been alive to see him at the time Jesus was supposed to have lived. Similarly, there is not one word he might ever have spoken that was written down by anyone who could have been there.
There is no mention of Jesus, or anyone like him, in the records of Jerusalem or of the personal or official papers of Pontius Pilate (or any other Roman official). Similarly, there is no record of a crucifixion that could have been that of Jesus. The supposed darkness that fell upon the earth at the time he died was not mentioned by anyone anywhere on the planet, including Jerusalem itself.
There is no record of a city, town or village called Nazareth at the time Jesus would have lived, even in the detailed list of cities and towns in Galilee compiled by Flavius Josephus; nor is such as place ever mentioned in the Old Testament.
No one knows who actually wrote any of Gospels, and whoever they were, even they never claim to have met the earthly Jesus, and the original manuscripts do not even exist. The earliest is probably Mark (70 C.E.), although no one knows who wrote it, where they wrote it, or exactly when they wrote it.
Paul's biblical letters are the oldest surviving Christian texts (60 C.E.). However, there occurs not a single instance in all of Paul's writings that he ever meets or sees an earthly Jesus, nor does he give any reference to Jesus' life on earth. The Gospel of John disagrees with events described in Mark, Matthew, and Luke; and it was written in Greek around A.D. 90-100.
Here is a question: Many of the statements attributed to Jesus claim to have come from him when he was alone – how do you figure that?
What about the ever-popular Jesus?
The Gospels claim that Jesus was well and widely known, not only by his many followers, but also Priests, Pontius Pilate, and Herod, knew "of the fame of Jesus" (Matt 14:1)" and that the multitude of people thought of Jesus as a prophet as well as a teacher, healer, and miracle worker (Matt:14:5).
(Matt: 4:25) states that "there followed him [Jesus] great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordon." (Luke 12:1) speaks of, "innumerable multitude of people... trod one upon another" and, "fame abroad of him… and great multitudes came together to hear..." (Luke 5:15).
The persecution of Jesus in Jerusalem was such a big deal that the Prefect Pontius Pilate and the High Priest Joseph Caiaphas not only knew about it, but were part of it (Matt 21:15-23, 26:3, Luke 19:47, 23:13).
If this is all true, why is Jesus NEVER MENTIONED by any of these people? And, why are there NO RECORDS about any of this or even of ANYONE (Jesus or otherwise) having great multitudes of followers or going around performing miracles?
If Jesus did live, no one at the time thought his live worth noting or documenting. If he was crucified in Jerusalem, no one seems to have cared, or even noticed.

Edit -
You never took that whole 'education' thing seriously, huh?

No, I don't believe Jesus is real. Show me some evidence that he is real, otherwise, do not be surprised that I don't believe.

Sort of but since he's invisible, it's kind of hard to tell. By the way, don't buy into all that salvation crap. God never thought you should die for something Adam and Eve did. That had nothing to do with you and you were born innocent. Peace!
