... the reality is that we do have a God and we are called to take His message as embodied by Jesus to heart, and base our lives on His message of love, peace, forgiveness, truth, kindness, charity etc, and to take that message to the world.
But why do you need a god to give you that message when other people seem to get the same message without any resurrection, even without any god at all?
Thank you. I agree completely. I don't agree with much you have to say but I certainly agree that GDR's view of why Jesus came is utterly silly for the reason you give among other reasons.
