I read what is written and I respond to it. I am
not a mind reader, so if you wrote something and really
meant something else it is not my job,
nor within my capacity to know what you really meant.
You can recant, apologize, captilate for what you wrote, but what you can't expect me to do is ignore that you're suddenly changing subjects.

Some christians call jesus god within the bounds of a century are somehow proof of what?

That He was called God before "several centuries" as you claimed. Duh.

That it was suddenly a major religion?

See, there you go again.
First you said "figure of extreme importance" now you say "major religion".
Which is it? Should I believe your words then or now? Or is it more likely that you are conflating the issues?

They said that as he was nailed to a cross and before when it was more of a cult, im not sure what your confusion is on this point, apart from being so blinded by your own faith that you are functionally incapable of discussing this with anyone who does not share in your exact interpretation of that faith. Let alone someone who does not believe in any god.

Nope, none of that is accurate. But thanks for the insults.

We view history differently, as said repeatedly. I think of christianity as not a major religion UNTIL a few hundred years went by after jesus died.

And I have no problem with that statement. If by "major religion" you mean that they were not a significant (>50%) portion of the population until then.

Plenty of time for deification to take place,

Except, as it has been stated
NUMEROUS times, we have proof that the earliest Christians considered him God.
So it's time for you to accept that you are wrong on this point and stop continuing in your error.

for the acts of a man to become the acts of a god in the writings of men and living memory to die. Thats how it appears to me with the concept that jesus was a man alone, and that there are no gods but the ones that we make.
I suggest you calm down and let it go, we will not agree on this point.

I suggest you deal with the evidence proving you wrong. That is what is so frustrating to me.
