    There is no remotely reliable evidence that Jesus Christ ever existed.

    Edit:
    Funny how some people downvote this, but without providing any reliable evidence.

    You can make fun of religion nowadays, sure, very original, or ignore the question and talk about historical accuracy, alright. But if you want an answer what is compelling and mythical about these stories, try not to take them literal. Just like fairytales, they have something psychological about them. E.g. when Jesus made the blind see, this is about depression and how it is cured. Try to cast a friendly eye on the whole topic.

    The physical miracle demonstrates his identity and power, but they have a spiritual significance beyond the physical. For example, raising the dead indicated that He is the Creator with power over life and death, but also that He can give spiritual life to people dead in their sins.

    Jesus was only reading the script. It was all setup by his father.

    Remember if you want to be a God you need a Godfather, and I’m not talking about Pacino.
    Jesus basically teached us, how fucked we are, if we’re born poor.
