Even the most ardant atheist will admit that Jesus revolutionized ethics and morals. How could a fictional character do that? Without the Biblical God how can we have good or evil? Without the Biblical God good and evil lose all meaning. Not big on basic logic or reason i see. In India they walk over adying humans in the streets yet the sick cows gets help. In China and pagan Asian nations the same thing happens. It was the same everywhere before Christianity. Don't believe me just read a credible history book.
