carpenter/magician
He was probably clever enough to fool everyone with his tricks and say he is gods child. And of course people back then took psychedelic drugs and further believed the hallucinations to be true

>propably
Start life as carpenter, die nailed to some planks.

I'd say that is pretty likely, guy named Josh, was a carpenter, gets tired of being a carpenter, starts wandering around getting drunk, has some pretty good ideas for the time, picks up a following, keeps wandering around with a following, government gets tired of him, tries him, he fakes his death, and then peaces out. Not nearly as unfeasible without the whole God/religion bits.

Brotip: threaten someone with eternal torture over things you can't prove anyway, it will make you forget your own doubts, for a little while, anyway.

It's hard to believe because it's not relatable.
And it's hard to understand because it is.
This post, even to myself.

Hell is not eternal torture. It is the simple absence of God. Like Earth, but without God.

In other words we're in Hell?

Yes. there is a couple of no-religion-related records with him on them.
>propably just a carpenter like his father
Kiinda. The closest english word we could use to translate the word used in the hebrew text would be 'technician' that would cover things like carpentry and and construction work, and make him a middle class guy, well known at his hometown.
No I don't believe he was even real. The story has been seen in texts older than Jesus himself.

the story in the Bible is separate from the question from Jesus' existence. No one cares what you think. The historical consensus is that he was a person who existed.
You should know that God was created in mans image. That is why he is a man. Plus adam was made out of dirt and eve was made from ripping out a rib of adam. And the universe was created 6,000 years ago. Dinosaur bones were put there by the devil test your faith.
