> i.e. by disagreeing with a person who says that Jesus being a "good guy" is an important aspect of the Christian faith

To be fair - and without offering an opinion either way on the thread itself - they never disagreed it was important.

What they said was "If you think Jesus being a 'good guy' is the most important part of Jesus, that's absolutely missing the point of Christianity".

God does miracles, whoop-de-doo. God avoids temptation, whatevs.

God suffers as the sacrificial goat to expiate our sins? Yeah, right .

A good guy doing those? That is the essential point of Christianity, that God became man in order to walk in our shoes but still show us how to walk better.

I assume you're replying to me in error as my post says nothing about any of your points. In fact 50% of my entire comment was specifically saying I had no opinion either way.
