The more I have been thinking about this, the more I think he never existed.
Many fantastic claims about his birth and death, and life on earth.
BIRTH
Claims that he was conceived by immaculate conception.
LIFE
He never wrote down a single word. No education?
DEATH
There is no body, disappeared from the burial site.
RESURRECTION
Yes, sure. Hard to explain how he escaped.
ASCENSION TO HEAVEN
Went up on a cloud? No space shuttle in those days. But by claiming that, no need to look for any remains.
NEW TESTAMENT
The gospels were written long after his death, with some identical passages. Suggests collusion. In addition, the Catholic Church didn't think it important to hold on to Jesus's teachings as recorded.
