I think you have to separate Jesus Christ from todays religions who tend to use his name for their own agenda.
As opposed to Christianity you mean?

Unfortunately I don't do facebook and have never read Karen's (whoever she may be) book so I can't comment on it.
From your historical analogy how far back do you accept history. Obviously not 2,000 years ago so cuts out pre Roman history. Looking to the future how many people in 2,000 years time would be willing to accept the Nazi's killed around 6 million Jews in their death camps. Humans killing 6 millions humans on purpose, pure fiction. Yet we know it is true.
An industrialised nation killing 6 million people over the space of 5 years is rather less fanciful than say a man walking on water or coming back from the dead. Plus you can literally go to Auschwitz and other camps and see the evidence for yourself.

I think that you are taking your first comment away from the text it answered. You can go to the Holy Land and see the evidence for yourself, see posts from Rick. You can also read about St. Peter as I have said in previous posts. At the end of the day it is all about choice. You either believe, or want to believe, in the ways of Jesus Christ or you don't. What I am saying is that believing in Jesus Christ is not joining a religious cult but something personal for you.

You say other religions (which you don’t believe in) have their own agendas. Im asking as opposed to Christianity (which you do believe in) which doesn’t I’m guessing?

So other religions have agendas but Christianity (your choice) is pure and without agenda?

If Jesus was such a miracle worker why would the Romans want to kill him? Just for his wine making abilities alone he’d be an absolute legend, never mind the demand for helping crippled and blind soldiers! No it’s just fairy tales for the weak minded to believe, if there was such a man he was certainly a liar and a con artist, a lot like his mum I suppose it’s no wonder the Romans crucified him.

People who believe in Jesus are weak minded?

I didn't say anything like that. The only pure Christian was Jesus Christ and all that try to copy his ways fall short somewhere in their lives. Being a Christian, trying to copy the teachings of Jesus Christ, is what being a Christian is about. No agenda.
