"Why have faith in a guy who was not God?"

Well Buddhists do it all the time.

If you want to regard Jesus as a sort of Buddha-type, that's fine. I was merely pointing out that worshiping Jesus and Jesus not being god are incompatible positions. You can do one or the other. I do not believe Buddhists worship Buddha.

When I said "why have faith", I meant "why worship as God someone who is not God?". But I think you knew that.
