the Jesus story is a pretty amazing story of David Vs. Goliath that's just as capable of being a force for good as evil

dunno if you believe he's actually God it sorta detracts from the underdog aesthetic imo
But yeah I believe Jesus was a historical figure who actually got crucified and that's why he's presented as such... The idea of a messiah being crucified goes completely against what the Jews believed in so to me it makes more sense that the crucifixion part is genuine. I don't at all agree that Jesus is just an archetype and not a historical figure.
