it doesn't matter whether christ actually existed or not. it doesn't matter whether god exists or existed or if god never was. what matters is that goodness and kindness and pity and compassion for all sentient creatures can exist if we make them real by our actions of goodness and kindness and pity and compassion or they can remain but an illusion which shall never come to fruition. we can make a more loving world if we will it or we won't. the choice is up to each one of us
