I never claimed that a historical person named Emmanuel, a rabbi from 2000 years ago, did not exist.
I stated that claims of his DIVINITY have been created, the bible has been re-written, and whole segments of Emmanuel's life have been forged, to appear in line with the supposed prophecies in the old testament about a Messiah.
the rocky marciano.rocky balboa thing is erroneous.
think about it more like mahtatma Ghandi, a great human if there ever was one, but imagine 3oo years from now, a group of people following the Mahatma's teachings, would almost certainly have to create many details about Ghandi's life to fit their worship of him. slowly over time, humans begin to worship the MAN instead of the man's IDEALS.
