Jews existed before Christianity of course they did. Christianity is a rebel death cult that followed a charismatic leader who taught them a moral path. You don't have to believe Jesus was a son of a God or a magic being to belive in the morality of his teachings.
The old testament is not Christianity. IT was added to the ideology by jews to blend and control them. That is jewry. Read the new testament and especially the apocryphal texts they omitted from it from a secular historical point of view and you will get a better picture of why jews hate Christians so much.
You don't believe Jesus is Lord God, Creator of the universe. So was he a liar or a lunatic? Because he certainly did things that only God can do, received worship, was bodily killed and resurrected, and claimed to be the emmanuel messiah - the anointed of God.
Did he? Or was that added to build the mysticism up?
You're working from a point of assumption. Don't assume that the information you've been given today hasn't been manipulated and altered to benefit those in power.
And ultimately, it doesn't matter. The story doesn't matter, the moral of the story matters. The morals of the teachings of Jesus are good. Any additional beliefs you decide to have are secondary. If it helps you be a moral and upright person then it is a benefit.
You think you can be a moral and upright person without any divine help? Hah!
As for your first point, have you looked into the transmission of the New Testament texts? Do you really think that something as big as the deity of the man who split the calendar in two would have just slipped in later?!?
The jews have been trying to suppress the truth of his resurrection since the beginning. But please, go on about how this is some plot to subvert the whites.
