Overstating the case for Athiesm.
#67
RE: Overstating the case for Athiesm.
There is no derivative, contemporary or comparative evidence for the existence of Joshua Ben Joseph as a blessed messiah.

This posited version of 'a Christ' is almost certainly a Euhemeristic concept suggested by highly zealous Pauline ideology. It is crucial to point out that in the Jewish people of this period, you have a culture that viewed the deification of once living people as a normal part of history but they were quick to claim divine inspiration for such an occasion.

Compound that by making the Messianic search that of utmost importance in the conceptualised notions of Judaism, and you have a recipe wherein people are literally straining at the leash to imbue someone, ANYONE with the myth of deification.

There are multiple contradictions across the synoptic gospels, to the point that almost no correlation exists.
The primary and secondary provenance of these documents is laughable. Authorship can be thoroughly questioned, dating is woeful, original texts are non existent and the match up with accepted history and geographical topography is just funny.
