Retired Lutheran Bishop claims Jesus enshrined in myths

Link

He doesn't believe that Jesus was born of a Virgin
He doesn't believe that Jesus was born in Bethlehem
He doesn't believe that Jesus had twelve disciples
He doesn't believe that the miracles of Jesus were real
He doesn't believe that Jesus was divine

But he does believe that Jesus was a pivotal figure in history.

I'd like to know why. If none of the things are true then Jesus seems to be nothing more then a madman who failed and was executed.

Its like people that say he was just a good teacher. Yeah he taught he was the son of God and is God... um if he's not then why's he a good teacher? Because he also taught do to others as you would want to be done to you? Well others have taught the golden rule.

Jesus either is the Son of God and is God or he's not someone that I want to learn from.

I believe he is.
