Grill a Christian  (13+) By love or force? Christian nationalism today. #2327636 by LightinMind

As the official Judge of this contest, I have the following comments to offer for "Who is Jesus?" 

Thank you for your entry.

Did you answer the question?

No not really. The question asked for a comparison and a reasoned choice and this was just a description. It was weighted by the amount of text toward a Christian viewpoint.

Use of quotes, proof-texting or AI - could I hear your voice?

This was a little short and did not include a personal voice. It appeared rather like an attempt at an objective appraisal of the evidence for Jesus.

How consistent was your argument?

There was not an argument here beyond saying that there is evidence that Jesus existed. That would have to have been accompanied by a comparative appraisal of the historical evidence for both Jesus and Muhammed to suggest which one was more credible.

My thoughts on the substance of what you said

I was grateful for the entry which made this month a proper competition. But a bland statement of the facts without any real reflection was not what I was looking for. For example, you suggested that the Julian/Gregorian calendar was evidence of Jesus's existence. The Julian Calendar was in place before him (45BC Julius Caesar) and the Gregorian was an adaptation of the Julian Solar Calendar that came in in 1582 by papal decree. AD/BC was not widely used until the 9th century so long past the time when it might be used as a piece of evidence for Christ's existence.

Mechanical issues

This had a dry and non-committal vibe about it. It was too short.

Jesus is [needs article] son of Mary and Joseph
