THE ATHEIST JEW
Jesus, like every religious figure who allegedly performed supernatural
feats, never existed. To me it becomes more evident each day. Just
think of the recent claim that Jesus might have been married because it
implies it in a newly found document. Here you have something written
"after the fact" that gives Jesus a wife. This means that at least one
person, and most probably a whole sect, believed Jesus had a ball and
chain.
What I'm trying to get to is that it isn't hard to invent a fact and
then have a bunch of people believe that fact over even a generation or
two, especially back at a time when word of mouth was king. Hoaxes
still go on today, and are bought by millions until proven false....back
then, there was no incentive to prove an extraordinary claim false, and
even if they wanted to, the early Christians couldn't falsify much.
What they could do was pick and choose which fairy tale story fit their
agenda at the time. That is why some versions regarding Jesus made it
in the bible and others did not.
The same word of mouth nonsense had people believing in Gods like
Mercury and Thor at various times. Do you think many Christians or Jews
or Muslims believe in those stories? Probably close to zero. They
rightfully dismiss them as nonsensical.
Reality is that there is no historical evidence for Jesus, Moses, the
Exodus, etc. Lots of counter evidence that go against those stories
though, but no evidence to support them.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for God to magically open up the fridge and float a cold pop to my computer desk.
