The Christ character also said he would return, while those listening to him speak were still alive. That didn’t happen. And people still believe he was some kind of god.

I wonder why they don’t also believe in Zeus. There is exactly the same amount of proof of his existence as there is for the Jesus character.

You are mistaken. There is quite a lot of evidence that Jesus Christ lived.

There’s actually zero. But there’s lots of evidence that the Jesus stories are just retelling of older myths from Egypt and sims Ian times.

Christ also said he did not know when the return would occur, only the Father knows.

I believe it was Paul, who wrote to encourage those concerned that He hadn’t returned in their time. He said that to God, a thousand years is like a day, and a day like a thousand years.

If you can’t imagine a mind that immense, if you choose not to believe, you can still be respectful.

And yes, there is plenty of evidence of Jesus’ existence. There are books dealing with the subjects you’re concerned about. Lots of them.

The Jesus character clearly said he would return in their lifetime. He didn’t. Mostly because it’s all mythology.

You should consider reading “Is Atheism Dead?” By Eric Metaxas.

You are misinformed. Go back and read that again.

Except, of course, the tomb at Talpiot.
