Well only one did it well enough to have been witnessed by many, written about and went on to change the Western world. In fact he is still present today in spirit born believers.
You mean, if I have the psychological need, to believe something, without objective evidence.
Many do, I don't.
Yeah witnessed by so many that the Jewish Religion kept on going and Christianity pretty much only gained converts outside of the land the events took place in.
Einstein found the cosmological data to be objective evidence for a God. He became a diest, though he never accepted the idea of a personal God.
The Jews are still theologically segregated today, proud people, and their Messiah is MIA. The religion of Jesus is very different than Judaism, they would not or could not accept the teachings of Jesus.
To Atheist Einstein is just one that got away.
So he's a Jewish Messiah sent by God to fulfill Jewish Prophecy but uh... didn't actually do much of anything for the Jews. That totally... doesn't make any sense at all.

No, he's not. The only time Atheists care about Einstein's views on religion is when people try to claim him as either a Religious Jew or a Religious Christian. Call him a Deist, Agnostic or Atheist and no one cares.
"The Stone the builders rejected...." That's right, Jesus being rejected was part of the prophecy.
Jesus, the creator Son, came for all mankind, giving his life as a spiritual contribution to mans inner experience. The Jews erroneous ideas about what the predicted Son would do was a problem of their own making.
Psalm 118 is not typically considered part of any prophecy but more a national song from Babylonian Exile.*
At least not until revisionist history happened and it get retrofitted.
Proof of this? I see people making these kinds of assertions all the time, but it's almost always hearsay.
Then the Bible fails. It doesn't have third parties or disinterested parties that back it up.
So God didn't foresee this chosen people that he'd made all those covenants with were going to screw it all up in the end?
No, I do think those people believed that stuff.
Would you like to elaborate?
You really don't want to go down that route, since the Bible tends to fail and fall apart under the kind of scrutiny given to other historical documents.
Care to elaborate?
There is virtually no evidence from outside of the Bible itself that corroborates the Bible. If there was a book that said Scipio Africanus "totally kicked butt and took names in a land far to the west across the ocean and brought back huge spoils of war with a fleet 1,000 ships strong" and *no other writings corroborated that, there was no evidence of an injection of treasury funds etc... we would not consider it a trust worthy source.
The Bible suffers from that "no one else corroborates any of this" problem.
