Oh yeah!!
I can only guess from the knowledge that I currently hold that I would have been a disturbance to the status quo "some what like Socrates was during his time.
You do realize that within written history that there were many who shared some of "the Jesus's moral philosophy don't you"?
I think that what may have happened is that the status quo seen this and played on it and invented the Jesus character.
Do not get me wrong because I do think that there may have been many who seen what Jesus supposedly seen " meaning they were put to death for teaching ethics.

How is this any different than saying that I have the empirical proof to prove all of what spendius states as being false?

OK so its your opinion but you do realize that opinions are not always facts?

Are you suggesting that the bible should not be followed to the tee?
