It would've really saved a lot of the Holy Wars fought in his name if he just would've left a sticky note or some shit proving any of the "miracles" he performed.
Just seems kinda odd that such a popular Dood wouldn't leave any proof behind for future generations

Historians like William Harris and Catherine Hezser note that antiquity generally operated under a baseline literacy rate of around 10% across the Roman Empire. Factoring in that the region was heavily rural (roughly 70% rural), total literacy in the Land of Israel is often calculated to be 3% or lower.

I admit that the story of "Jesus" is somewhat apocryphal, but the distillation of "his teachings" is 180 and way better than those of any other analogous figure.
It’s known among the Talmudists that he attended Yeshiva and was able to read Hebrew and Aramaic quite well but was born a mamzer to Jewish mother and not allowed to continue his rabbinic studies
there's little evidence of him reading and writing, but there is that one passage in Luke suggesting that he read the (presumably Hebrew) torah in the synagogue.
some thing he just was able to memorize huge portions of scripture which was not uncommon.

Um obviously if Jesus was ackshually the son of God he'd have spent his time writing about it rather than demonstrating it to inspire others to do so. I mean, if we had a piece of paper from Him saying he was the son of God then there wouldn't be any room for doubt.

The levels of Spacepornian stupidity ITT have been bothering me since I read this.
First, the premise of "If God real why not provide more evidence HUH?" is so obvious that it's hard to believe a 50 year old man got high and thought it was so profound he'd share it with other grown men.
Second, the specific proof he's looking for is... writing? How would that *reduce* doubt? If we had a letter from Jesus asserting he's the son of God how would that resolve any skeptics doubts?!
Third, the specific thing he think Jesus could have been clesrer on his stance on violence? What?! Pretty sure there's quite a lot on that!
