Yes, he is all about belief, there's real no hard evidence that he lived, IT MAY be that his history is shrouded in mysteriousness to let people choose to believe instead of fully knowing his existance. But if you think about it, if it was proven that he once lived, it would raise his popularity and probably make more skeptisism. People would see that he did in fact live and that the prophet was true, that'd probably get more followers. But once they found out that he was real, they'd crack on the subject of what he did, if he DID heal, if he WAS the son of god. I was watching this intruiging show on history channel about jesus and others that were involved in him, and it IS a hypothesis that mary could have been raped by one of the roman soldiers, and joseph, out of anger, dreampt up a person to tell him it's all alright, to console himself consiously. ITS all just a hypothesis. They also talk about where he was born, either nazareth or bethleheim(i'm not sure if that's right, pardon me if i mispelled it). Some philosiphers thought he was a reincarnation of moses to finish what was once started. But that's for another topic another day. So far he's an urben legend yet to be proven true.
