Either all are, or none. Let's not get stuck on the idea that only a few are. That makes no sense whatsoever.
Either we are all Spartacus, or none of us are. Yep. Makes perfect sense to me.

Spartacus wasn't claiming to be divine. Have a word with yourself for missing the fuckin' obvious.
No. I didn't miss the obvious. The obvious was that you were spouting total bollocks. I merely spouted some bollocks of my own. Thought it was a contest.

It makes no shred of difference to me whether Jeebus H Krusty the Klown was a real preacher or the figment of some millennially-maddened over-fertile imagination. He has no relevance to me either way.

It fucking matters because quacks of all sorts, including unscrupulous fundies, are out to destroy all learning and modern research for all conceivable disciplines. Once creationists, mythers, astrologers, at al, foist their fake narratives on the next generation, it won't matter a damn if religion has by then been flushed down the dumpster. We'll still be fucked, living the lies of those who find it convenient to live a lie: the new powerful, whoever they may be, taking advantage of an imposed ignorance that people like you just laugh off as if it were nothing. Well, if you enjoy being a sucker, than laugh away.
It does fucking matter, and we should fucking care. Complacency in the face of quackery is no option at all.
It's the same if it involves a perfectly normal human rabbi, a planned extermination of six million prisoners, a real landing on the moon, a spontaneous big bang, or a sane perspective on star charts. Phony history is a way of turning whole populations into suckers. You want to be a sucker?

"Quack!"
Declaring that the advocacy of the historical facts of a myth is somehow protecting (an assumed) historical truth, when really it's merely advocating the acceptance of a myth as fact, sounds like is quakery to me.

Surely the choice is between one or none.

At any rate, even if there was a Jeebus, he was not the MMessiah, just ask the Jews and check the prophecies (those in OT)... ergo the chretins have it all wrong

The choice is between God being omnipresent and there being no God (because a finite God is an absurd notion). Hence the choice is between everyone being of God, or no one.

Yay, let's all look to the historians to resolve issues of The Divine.
