First you said "figure of extreme importance" now you say "major religion".
Which is it? Should I believe your words then or now?

I said this-
"Secondly its only after the extreme passage of time that he's been deified, several hundred years before he was made into a religious figure of extreme importance. "
Ive also clarified this a few times, though you seem to be incapable to digesting my viewpoint unfortunately. My clarification was that I considered the spreading of christianity several hundred years later as the true growth of jesus as a figure of extreme importance, and as chrisitianity as a major religion, certainly by 313 where Constatine essentially legitimized it via his radical change in faith and full support.

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

Right, and we've agreed on that point numerous times. Earliest christians
called jesus god, and you have proof that earliest christians
called jesus god, not that anyone
was god, or that any such thing as god exists.
Thats where your confusion seems to be it seems, for you, its proof of what your believe, for me, its proof that you believe what you believe, not that its actually true.
Because you believe that jesus was god, means that if other christians 2000 years ago believed the same thing, then it must be true. I don't buy it.
