Sure he was real but not what people seem to think he was. I am guessing he was most likely just someone with a whole lot of charisma. Charisma can make people do and think almost anything under the right conditions. Look at what it did for Adolf Hitler. He just told people what they needed to hear and gave them someone to blame all the problems they were having on. Gave the german people a answer and a way out of the trouble they were having. And brought His country up from a depression into a world power. Basicly what jesus seems to have done. Gave people the answer they were looking for.
Assuming there is a god of some sort I really doubt they/he/she/it would have used that single person to get the message across that one time. As god they would have limitless power to do whatever it takes. With all the wars that have happened over religion over the last few thousand years i really doubt jesus is the one true answer to all the questions people have.
In a way it upsets me that people of all faiths claim to know as a fact things that no one could possibly know. For all we know god could be a child in a classroom and the universe as we know it is nothing but a petree dish and we are part of a experment. just waiting to see what happens. Maybe the universe is exactly how god wants it down to the smallest detail. Being all powerful and all knowing i would say that would be a good chance but in that case why is there so much war based over different faiths. I really doubt they would make all these people that dont agree just to have them fight over it for thousands of years.
So sure jesus was real but he was just some guy. No more the son of god then anyone else on the planet. I don't believe any organized religion has all the answers or even most of the answers. Think the best bet is to just do what you feel is the right thing to do and have faith that if there is a god they made you the way your supposed to be and everyone else the way they are supposed to be. Religion seems to want to force everyone to believe the exact same thing if the answers are right or not. People having blind faith in a book such as the bible without even knowing who wrote it is just silly. Too many people read them like they are the answer and rules to everything instead of what it really is. Just a collection of ideas and thoughts put together by people from a few thousand years ago.
