The Problem with Christians

[robvalue]

Oh dear.

No, we don't have independent eyewitnesses of Christ. Not that it would matter if we did, it would still be next to useless to a scientist. And even if he did come back to life (a forged ending to the original account) it doesn't mean he is God, or that he made anything at all.

There is no credible evidence that the gospels are eye witness accounts. And it's well known that Matthew and Luke heavily cribbed off of Mark, the original account. And it's fairly likely none of them were even born when Jesus died. John is just a later fan fic bearing little resemblance.

Of course, this is not what is taught in church and Christians have no motivation to go actually learn about their book. Even I was fooled. Until a few years ago, I presumed Jesus was legit, there were eyewitness accounts and it had just been exaggerated. But then I began actually studying it and became embarressed by my preconceptions.

Even some Christian biblical scholars are honest enough to admit to much of the above.
