TheKak, obvoiusly one comes to the conclusions that one chooses, but I can tell you right now that, unless Jesus were a hypocrite there would be no historical evidence of any "miracles" he performed. His teaching was centered around humility and a humble person wouldn't make a big deal out of the good that they do. And, historically speaking, he most likely wasn't known far and wide. In fact, his followers were probably a fairly small number at the time of his death - perhaps only in the hundreds. Of course, what must also then be realized is the equally valid question of why a person who did have so few followers when he died eventually gave birth to a new world religion. Many other people have had a couple hundred followers and the same did not occur. The point is that, while he may or may not have been the "son of God" and while he may or may not have performed "miracles," it's clear that he was special in some way or another in that, at the least, he was an unusually good person.
