What if Vatican published for 50 years ultra-blurry photo of a guy, saying "He's like Jesus. We confirm he has all attributes a jesus would have. But wait a little more, we will give you accurate photos of him, maybe, or maybe we can not confirm it's Jesus, but, never mind, we will publish godish archives soon" ? And during this time,for more than 50 years, no sign of this messiah, nobody meet him, but only some rare ultra-blurry photos of a random guy. In this case, I personnaly would think Vatican take me for a dumb idiot.

Sure, but if you had millions of people around the world telling you they believed they were communicating with Jesus through prayer, and thousands of people who said they had actually met Jesus (or one of his saintly holy ilk), or been healed or saved (in miraculous fashion) by such, would you think those individuals with their stories and experiences were taking you from dumb idiot? Would you consider them dumb idiot? I think not, but I could be wrong about you. Afterall, it's up to you how you feel about this. For me, I trust myself (my own knowledge, experience and belief of this), and I trust the thousands of regular people (sadly, the government and intelligence people, less so) who have said they have experienced alien beings or tech.

  Would you believe any narrative involving Jesus ? Can somebody or something fools people with false claims about the messiah?

    Depends. I'd use my judgment. Like I've been using my judgment about UFO stories, people who tell them and my own experience to inform my beliefs. Who are you to say other people's stories are "false claims" or not? You don't know. And you can't say for other people, only for yourself. Would you just disbelieve any narrative about it? > Can somebody or something fools people with false claims about the messiah? I think they can fool people about it. Definitely. That's why you got to use your own judgement. Think for yourself. Can the government or skeptics or disinfo agents just fool you about this?
