felt there were some flaws in the jewish way of life
started preaching his own beliefs, (not eye/eye but turn the other cheek more stuff also)
gained followers 12 disciples
one turned on him judas and turned him into the Romans
crucified under Pontius Pilot
buried and rose three days later
people started to like the ideals he preached so then formed the religion




i believe thats the jist of it correct me if im wrong

well close but there's way more to it. and joseph was only his earthly father.. God was Jesus' real Father. (and no God did not fornicate with mary to make this possible) and Jesus didn't just say... i don't like the way the jewish are doing things i'm gonna practice my own religion. He preached what God told Him to preach.. and Jesus did way more than preach. He preformed miracles... but most of those key points were it.

ironchef your best bet is to just read the bible.... it's gonna tell you all u need to know. (and i don't mean the whole thing the birth of Christ starts some where in Luke... i'd start there)
