Yeah. He's not for real.

There's not a christian church in existence that doesn't treat easter as a special day.

He's a spoof.

And I've seen better.

Yeah, he's a spoof for sure. Every TRUE christian knows that Jesus was only 33 1/2 years old when he was crucifed.

And April 1? As in APRIL FOOLS!

good one, tom.

Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was about 30 years old when he began his ministry. So he taught for over 7 and a half years before finally being crucified. In those 7 and a half years, how many times did he cleanse the temple of the money changers?

And during those 7 and a half years of him living with and teaching his disciples, with all the miracles he did, they still didn't completely buy that he was God encarnate, or the son of God? What a bunch of idiots.

There are approximately 5 different people named Jesus in the NT, which Jesus died on April 1, on all fool's day. The one in Revelation?

And you can do this with all religions find the key aspect of their belief and why it is false.
All religions - yes.

Would you like a bigger shovel to aid you on your journey into the earth?

I notice that you've been banned - oh well.

Naturally Jesus must have been God when he said he was God - oh dear. Doubtless you will reincarnate and develop this theme. Consider - if you are lurking - that there are a number of possibilities:

Jesus was Lord
Jesus was a lunatic
Jesus was a liar
Jesus was mistaken

Have a think around these and consider developing a far stronger argument for dismissing other religions particularly when - as you have demonstrated - the argument can render your own position void.

Or perhaps that was your intention all along.

Hey TomT Troy, I know you have been banned (again), but on the chance that you are lurking and plotting your next "cunning" false identity, let me clue you into something:

http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/...=33&country=34

April 1st, 33 AD, fell on a WEDNESDAY.

And if you look at the month a little more closely:

http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/...h=4&country=34

You see that Pasach (Passover), which starts on Nisan 15, equates to April 4th. Since most religious scholars agree that the "Last Supper" was likely a "Seder", or Passover supper, the last supper would have occured on Nisan 14, or April 3rd.

By your assertion, your Jesus character would have to have died April 1st, then resurrected himself for a Seder Supper on April 3rd, then died again April 4th, then resurrected himself again on April 7th.

Was your Jesus crucified twice TomT Troy? Or are you wrong about April 1st, 33 AD? Pick one.
