sounds like a good enterprise concept, doesn't it? let's call it... scientology

LOL! Yup, the dude who started scientology even said it himself, if you want to become rich, start a religion.

biblically, jesus did prove himself, many times over, thru his miricles and the fact that he had superhuman selfcontrol/never did anything wrong.

Historically, I really doubt jesus could do any miracles at all. Okey, let's assume for a moment he could infact do those miracles, then why all those stories about people who still didn't believe in him nor God? How about the lack of stories about Jesus performing miracles when he was a child? (as son of god i'm sure even as a child he would have performed miracles, right? )

I'd say it's a bit of a 'too good to be true story' and usually those are never true.

Besides, the time in which jesus supposedly lived was a time in which people generally didn't feel to good (yes, this is an assumption, but based upon evidence still), hence the whole myth of judaism (and other 'religions' of that time) of a messiah that would come to save them all. Again assuming that jesus infact lived, he must have simply been a vey charismatic and clever rethoricus (and illusionist if he performed acts like mentioned, although if he did so, the bible probably exagerates them).

Did you know that illusionists nowadays make people fly, show decapitation by the use of turning and twisting boxed people and for example do impressive dissapearing acts? The 'walking on water' trick would be relatively simple, same goes for the water into wine trick. I've seen illusionists 'make birds out of a deck of cards' ... So then again, all 'evidence' we have is something written down in a book which intergrity is very questionable.
