Chris, there's a very simple answer... Caesar didn't claim to be a god, or at least no one (that I know of) claims he is. I don't have to believe anything very extraordinary. Remember, I accept reasonable evidence and the best explanation for such. If it's any consolation, I do believe both JC's existed... but I don't believe either was the Son of any God, nor that either had miraculous/divine powers, nor that either was resurrected... I accept the existence of the Roman Empire, and am happy to believe that it existed, that a fairly well attested character called Julius was a leading general who took power, etc. etc. I don't believe Rome was founded by two semi-divine sons, descendants of the Trojan Aeneas, who were suckled by a wolf after being abandoned.
