[Jesus sits on a rock, speaking]
A new command I give you:
Love one another

[an angry character talks back to Jesus]
What if they’re something bad like gay, trans, brown, or communist though?

[Jesus is facepalming on his rock]
I don’t want to be a messiah anymore

    I gave the reasons for why the bible is discarded as historical evidence for Jesus.
    The earliest book is written 1 generation after the fact, in an area quite some distance from where the events allegedly took place, by anonymous authors, and with no first party references, and the book contradict each other on key events.

    How is that an agenda? Using it as a source however is clearly an agenda.

      @Buffalox completely discarding multiple sources written by multiple people saying the same thing as evidence because you decide on a whim they don’t count is not a reasonable position.
      They might not be good evidence, but they still are evidence.

      This always seems to be nothing but a kneejerk reaction to all those Christians claiming the Bible is god-given truth.
