Now i don't actually know if i'd be consider an atheist because I don't like religion and believe in the spirits or not but here is what i think anyway.
I think religion is a bad thing, it's like...I'm not even sure how to explain it. It almost like people who are desperate for answers turn to some delusion so they don't have to think for themselves. My dad's best friend is a messed up dude he's hardcore into religion and sits around on his ass, he doesn't take the initiative to go apply for a bunch of jobs. he tells us he's waiting for answers from god. where does that get him? back in a casino gambling away his life not to be seen or heard from in over a year and a half. religion to me just seems silly and personally i really dislike catholic and christianity. For all we know some schizophrenic guy could have wrote the bible maybe it was all in our head. there is no proof of jesus or any other god for that matter ever existing. it's frustrating that so many religious groups think you must believe in their god(s) other wise you are potentially a bad person. there are all sorts of silly rules and regulations that create so much tension in society that doesn't need to exist. im more than certain that part of the reason society is so against homosexuality is because the bible suggests its a sin. SO many people have died do to stupid things like this. and THAT is why I find religion so infuriating. I will respect others choices to believe although i can't help but think it's really not their CHOICE to believe. but i don't respect religion

1) Why would it be any less legitimate than it already is if a mentally unstable person wrote it? Who knows, maybe they were more in touch because of it.
2) Actually, I believe there is some proof to the fact that a "Jesus" did exist,as he is mentioned in more than one holy text. Its interesting when I heard that, Infact I'm curious to go read more on it.
But he isn't a son of god, or a miracle worker (obviously), but I do believe he is mentioned as being a "holy" man of sorts, almost like a prophet.
Don't quote me on that though, I could just be completely wrong.
edit: It could be moses i'm thinking of actually.
