I believe that (assuming he really existed), he was a super guy and an inspiration to be looked up to and emulated. Beyond that though? As in death and resurrection, walking on water, turning water into wine and such? Nope, sorry, just can't buy into it, especially seeing as that I studied and have a degree in History..

Totally not knocking those who do believe such things of course.

But yeah, I consider myself Agnostic. I believe that there's likely SOME higher power out there, maybe even one that controls things, watches over us, or at least intervenes; it'd be naive and arrogant of us to assume we stand at the absolute pinnacle of power. I just believe that, even if there were something bigger out there, we simple are not capable of comprehending it, let alone discovering or finding evidence of it. At least not in our lifetimes and probably not a million more. It's like Goldfish trying to comprehend the world outside their bowl. Just can't happen.

Yeah except when you see, wars, starvation, murders, rapes, injustice, poverty etc... I'm having a hard time with the concept of "One that controls things and watches over us". More like one that sits back and enjoys a sick show of humanity. But that would imply there is a Devil and not a God out there which makes no sense either so I'm gonna go with: There is nothing out there, nothing aware and almighty at least.

Fair enough - truth is I don't know for sure but neither do you :P

Doesn't necessarily mean it's benevolent, it can be totally indifferent. But whatever, there could very well be nothing else beyond or above us. I certainly don't favor the concept of some singular conscious being controlling us and everything else either or of any religion in particular -  what I AM saying is considering we're barely specs in this massive universe I think that's a bit short-sighted in its own way to assume that we as humans just stand at the absolute pinnacle of power, control, and consciousness in the universe and that somehow all the endless matter around us just completely manifest itself without any rhyme or reason or any source.
