Yes there was a Jesus. I don't prescribe to this belief because I am religious. In fact, I am far from religious. I think that there was a man, named Jesus, who said and did wonderful things, was a great orator, was charismatic, and demanded respect from his followers. It is as simple as that. The Bible is a fable. It is a story that starts with one man, Jesus, then evolves over centuries to give people something to believe in. I don't believe in miracles. I think miracles are things conjured up over the centuries to make this well loved man seem more "god-like", hence coining him the son of God.
So, in summation class, I believe there was a Jesus and I do believe he was a great man in his time. Son of God? No, just a regular guy who is hyped up over the centuries to give people an excuse to sit on their arse's on Sunday mornings and listen to a bunch of made up stories by a preacher.
