Lets keep it plain and simple.
I just wanna see how many people believe in Jesus Christ?
Only a YES or NO answer, no but this and that's please?

Yes I think a guy named Jesus Christ did exist at one time. As far as the rest of it...NO.
Ambigious question to begin with anyway.

Yes I think there was a person named Jesus who existed who had some interesting ideas on how people should live, worship and treat each other.
No I don't believe or actually disbelieve that He was indeed the "Christ". Being Agnostic, I think it is beyond mankind's comprehension....
Please return my can opener once done with it.
