1. His name wasn't Jesus.
2. He didn't call himself our savior, that shit was invented much later.
3. Most of what is considered Canon was heavily edited and rewritten by, you guessed it, church leaders and rulers trying to justify their own continued rule. Also to marginalize females, but thats a whole other thread.
4. Jesus may have actually existed as a minor prophet but the mythical Jesus was most likely an apocryphal tale stolen almost word for word from earlier tales like the epic of Gilgamesh. Like most of the Christian religion was cobbled together from earlier religions. Symbols and all.
But hey, your dad seems like a straight shooter MS so he's probably right about religion.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
