I've been thinking alot about this the last few days could it be possible that Jesus is the greatest con artist in history. Compare him walking on water to a clever david blaine type trick. Or when he made the blind man see again,the blind man could of been in on the con all along. Ok some things can't be explained but the bible is all about storys past on from person to person, jesus could of relied on the chinese whispers effect. What does every one else think on this ?

This could have happened, or the whole thing was a lie!
Jesus wasn't such a good guy anyway, he was a condescending prick
Read the bible sometime, he looks down on everyone

John 9:1-9 - As Yeshua passed along, he saw a man blind from birth. His talmidim asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned - this man or his parents - to cause him to be born blind ?"
Yeshua answered, "His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God's power might be seen at work in him. As long as it is day, we keep doing the work of the One who sent me; the night is coming when no one can work. While I am an in the world, I am the light of the world."
Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, put the mud on the man's eyes, and said to him, "Go, wash off in the Pool of Shiloach (The name means "sent") !" So he went and washed and came away seeing.
His neighbors and those who previously had seen him begging at the temple said, "Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg ?" Some said, "Yes, he's the one."
So, the man was born blind, which his parents are asked to confirm. You can read this later in the same chapter.
That would be a mighty big conspiracy, considering the parents had no motive. Judeans at that time had already decreed that anyone acknowledging Yeshua as the Messiah would be banned from the synagogue, which was like death on earth to those people.

Studying it would help you understand that it is not just a book of stories.

I myself am the re-incarnation of Jesus Christ and I admit it now... there is no difference between me and any other man. The bible itself reads that all men are god's children and I thought of coming up with an elaborate scheme in order to help better the human race- me and god got together and he told me to become pure for all that I believe is right without censorship- he told me that I would die and he would ressurect me. Well he ressurected me. Twice.

yeah, except for the fact that
1) those writing the bible would have had little incentive to keep it truthful
2) those writing the bible would have no way of knowing if the stories they heard related to jesus even happened, or how much they were exaggerated.
