Don't you think the Jesus story would be a terrible way for an omnipotent being to send an important message that's vital for everyone to hear? Just creating a normal human and plonking them in some desert backwater - who looks and sounds just like any other human. The only difference is he hears voices in his head, and can pull off some pretty mediocre magic tricks.
If all it takes is an appealing story to convince you that something with literally no evidence is true and you should devote your life to it, there are many other stories like that, check out the Baghavad Gita for instance. Some really wonderful characters and truly fantastic events - not to mention absolutely mind-blowing magic, all of it completely true (apparently).
No, not really.
Hindus see Jesus as another god, but Jesus claimed to be the only way to the Father, so Hinduism is pretty incompatible with the Jesus narrative
Of course it is lol
If there were a real god that cared about what rituals you perform in this life, then you would expect multiple religions to appear independently all over the world with the exact same rituals. But that has never happened once. Every single religion is totally different from all other religions that are properly independent of it.
Never has divine inspiration revealed the same "truth" in different parts of the world independently. Almost as if it's all just common or garden mental illness.
Christianity is the largest religion in the world and the vast majority of the world has heard about Jesus, so not necessarily
Alright, stick your head in the ground if it makes you feel special. You're clearly too deeply invested in this to listen to reason. It obviously doesn't matter what you or anyone else believes anyway.
