There are two ways to look at it ...
Either Jesus is God, or he isn't ...
If he isn't ... He would be a liar and his word would be lies ... There are no inbetweens or If's or buts, its only one or the other.
If Jesus Is God ... (which he is, and i speak from personal experience) ... Then Why is it that Remains of Chariots and stuff have been found in the Red Sea ..

Do some real research before you make conclusions, because if you dont ... then you a fool according to the Bible, the Bible says ..
"He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him"
Christians aren't brainwashed, lots of Christians beleifs about Jesus are based on faith, and faith is based on personal experiences, it cant be disproven or proven. I've had miracles in my life and i know how real Jesus is, and yes ... there was a time in my life where i started to slip back and say, he wait a minute, did Jesus really Exist and die on the Cross and Raise from the dead and how do i know the Bible is the word of God etc. God has answered all these questions for me, and done miracles in my life which show Jesus was responsible for them, and not coincidence as Skeptics say.
Do some archeological research about Jesus and the Bible, theres lots of iformation out there.
