I, Allo, hereby found the Church of the Truest Religion.

It makes sense to officially codify my religion early so when I commit tons of crimes later I can claim religious immunity.

I reserve the right (and the left) to ban however I see fit; tho, should you believe yourself(selves) to be saintly, you may post in similar style to how I do. Consider us as in an ashram as divine gurus. Posts begin with a question and receive an answer.

Did/does Jesus exist and is the bible true?

That depends on you. If you are a good person whos actions result in good to our shared world should I help empower your strength of belief in Jesus... Then yes, Jesus very exists just as described and even more powerfully. But if you would use strengthened belief for overall harm, then no.

Jesus of arimathea was almost certainly a real person who travelled preaching Jewish doctrine and then crucified by Pontius pilate.

If you bring good into the world for reasons/from sources unrelated to Jesus' existence and teachings, be it inspired by other traditions' gods and prophets or a personal ethic, how does that fit into an answer to this question?

i mean that i would say yes and empower their belief if doing so caused them to help starving kids in africa; and i would say no if empowering their belief caused them to devalue and oppress others for being heathens.

i would think doing 'good' due to other reasons and sources beside the example religion, christianity, would depend on the strength of conviction of the person in those other reasons and sources and would similarly benefit from being empowered if their effect is good (or nonempowered if their effect is bad).
