Power? No, Bible says we are to submit to the government and each other as individuals.So you agree that religion is all about power, money and control. Good for you.So is politics and business, not to mention abusing families and friends.Oh COME ON!!!!!!!!!! religion is all about power, money and control. Simple logic tells me that you base your beliefs on wishful thinking, because I can't even believe that you yourself even believe what you just said.And the proof is motive. Every criminal detective first looks at motive. So what was the motive for fabricating fantastic miracles?I question everything about him if that is the case. Look, Jesus may have existed, but all the magic tricks attributed to him? Extraordinary claims needs extraordinary proof.The earliest writing of Alex the Great was 300 years after his death. Do you question he existed?
Power? No, says we are to submit to the government and each other as individuals.
Money? No, says you give what you wish under no duress.
Fame? NT letters were written after his death. All disciples except one were executed for their faith.
To paraphrase CS Lewis, Jesus was either histories most famous suicidal narcissist or he was who he said he was.
Simple logic tells you that since there is no motive for fabricating such stories, they must be true.![]()
Money? No, Bible says you give what you wish under no duress.

So again you have no clue as to what you are talking about.
