So as an atheist I found myself telling them that although God maybe considered by some people not to be real that in fact Jesus was a real person with many historical references of people who were acknowledge as real, writing about him in historical documents that are recognised as being authentic by historians of this time..
So it it that some people have just decided that despite the 'historical' evidence that the whole issue of Christ and God is imaginary and not real?
As a teacher I am rather worried at this blurring of facts with fiction..  |
I believe that there may have been a man named Jesus. but I believe that he was just as normal as all the others around at that time. normal and not magic. and not the son of God.
Me saying the word God doesn't mean that I am now saying there is a God for someone to be a son to.
