    I agree, I think the mythical Jesus as the Bible portrays was based on a real life figure.

    For the record, yes I do think UFOs could be covered up. It wouldn't be bumbling politicians in the...

    Knee-jerk reaction, yes/no?

    I totally agree. Also, some people will believe what they want to believe, and discard things that go against it. There's a name for doing that, and I can't remember what it is.
