I'm just checking here, but you do know that Unicorns are not real, and never have been, right?

^^, oooh, that's a can of worms right there.
As far as I'm concerned, the man they call Jesus existed, but didn't do any of the crap they say he did.

You know how chinese whispers works, you clear a set of doubles in front of your mates one day in the woods - they're impressed. They talk to people, who talk to other people. The story gets exagerated every time. Fast forward a few thousand years, and now you're not "the guy who once cleared some gnarly doubles" anymore, you're "the saviour of the known universe" and there are people gathering together on pilgrimages to worship some dirt which they believe to be part of your burial mound, when in fact, it's not even part of the original doubles, it's just some dirt, that some charlatan had got people to believe was special a few hundred years before.

Don't want to offend any believers.

Just my opinion!

I agree yeehaamcgee, he was probably a normal guy, who did a bit of protesting, and word-of-mouth exaggerated his deeds.

Jesus was an Argentinian F1 driver.

I don't think there's much debate about the existence of a Jesus type character back in the day, historical documents all point to it. The rest of the legend, well..

As Christians always point out: Jesus is all around us.
