He really did exist. He wasn't a ghost, even according to secular literature, and he made some pretty wild claims. He had quite a following too. Why do you suppose that was?

I don't believe in ghosts or the supernatural. Religous beliefs are on par with astrology. Praying and wishing have equal "power" and I suspect that can be proven with statistics. No angels no devils. All religions were created by people. Some religous stories may be based on someone that existed in a kind of vague way, but no one has or has ever had "powers". No one has come back from the dead. #36: So you think Jesus was just a carpenter,

Jesus wan't born in Kansas. More evidence exists today for evolution than for Jesus. Being a carpenter, it's a shame that not a single piece of anything he ever made exists today. Being educated, after all, he was the son of God, he had to know everything, but wasn't able to write a single letter or note? The primary in every religion never leaves physical evidence. It's all based on faith. Faith - believing in something without any rational reason.
