Healed some lepers? Well, he could have eradicated it, but didn't. There are thousands of scientists who have eradicated some of the most deadly of diseases.
Saved man? From what exactly? Even if there was a compelling reason, he had a fucking job description, a script and a guarantee of success from his father, God, who according to his own testimony is a total asshole.
Died for our sins? See above, and so what? You'd be hardpressed to find even the worst of cowards who would not do the same for his one child let alone to save the entire human race.
What true (original) words of wisdom did he come up with? Golden Rule? No.
Feats of superhuman ability? Yawn when compared to other gods like Zeus.
Am I missing something?

Before we start down the road to 22 pages on this poorly veiled troll
Didn't you used to claim on this very message board right here that Jesus never existed?

First, "poorly veiled troll" is an oxymoron.
Yes, but the concept and myth exists and he's real to many, hence the discussion.

Why would you ask about the accuracy of things thast were done by someone who doesn't exist?
Isn't that kind of like debating the hand guards on a lightsaber?

I agree, he's much more bound to hurt himself with those hand guards than hurt the other guy. Now, Darth Maul's light saber staff, that was a thing of genius. Hand guards on a lightsaber? Not so much.

C'mon Hen. What say you? You have quite a bit emotionally and financially invested in Jesus. What about was so great?
What did he do that wasn't already done by gods before him?

Step up, STD 1990. What was so great about him?
He wasn't the first one to heal the blind or suffering.
Did he sacrifice or risk anything doing so? I mean, shit he had unlimited power and all he was willing do was heal a few lucky people who happened catch his attention when he was in a helpful mood.
To use you analogy, he had a light saber but used a pea shooter.

He was a carpenter. Didn't he build a table or something?

The guy has unlimited power and can only heal a few people. Shit if I were God, I would have banned blindness and heal everyone in the world.

It's doubtful. Although accounts vary, as they always do with Jesus, he had no wife or children. Personally cannot help but think this lack of experience at least partially accounts for the fact we had to wait almost 2000 years before the rights of workers, women and children were even addressed, ironically mostly the result of the sacrifice of non believers.
No bill of rights, universal rights of children...in the gospels? Guy with unlimited power and "on the clock" chooses to spend infinitely more time ensuring his followers worship him than addressing the most important of humane issues.
I don't get it.

So Jesus heals a few local lepers. He did so without the fear of contracting the disease, cuz he's god and he's also on a mission from God. What about the badasses who took Ebola head on? I don't know, those health workers showed infinitely more courage and sacrifice than Jesus.
