"Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. Had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. Re-post if you truly believe"
"Greatest man in history" is a pretty big claim for a guy who walked around one tiny region of the world doing stuff. And considering he's "The Son of God", who many interpret to be God Himself in human form, you can hardly consider Jesus a man.

Confucius said, “When three men walk together, there is always something I can learn.”, firmly establishing the idea of learning from all sources regardless of 'degrees', a full 500 years before the birth of Christ. Also, did they even have degrees back then?
A healer of hearts and minds need not have medicines. Look at psychotherapists. Dentists too do not use medicine. Nor do surgeons. Or any number of the medical professions.

Conquered the world? Really? Sure, one dude walking around the Middle East obviously conquered the ENTIRE world.
Crime is a subjective notion. To the people that crucified Jesus, He had sinned by claiming to be the Son of God.
He was buried in a tomb, respawned three days later, then randomly ascended to Heaven for...no apparent reason. Actually, nobody really even takes notice of when Jesus ascended to Heaven. It's completely glossed over. This is despite the overwhelming notice paid to His surviving being crucified. Makes no sense.
Anyway, if Easter is about when Jesus was resurrected, why does the date change every year? Why doesn't it stay fixed like Christmas?
