Is Quran the proof of God?

[Angrboda]

Here's a fun exercize, to elaborate upon my previous post.  Try to find some example of a biographical detail in the NT concerning jesus that is -not- a vehicle for theology.  

Even seemingly simple things...such as his (hilariously convoluted) ancestry, exist within the narrative merely to establish some religious proposition.  In this example.. that he is rightful heir to the davidic kingdom promised to the chosen people.

There's a youtube series, I think by Sargon of Assad, that goes into this in depth. Basically the idea is that the Jesus story in Mark was a cheap ripoff of Homer's Odyssey, cashing in on that epic's success for a contemporary audience. Not sure how much to take at face value, but interesting viewing.

The Youtube series "Excavating the Empty Tomb" goes into detail on this in the first 6-7 videos. Good stuff, worth watching.
