Statler, Jesus, as you know Jesus, never existed. If someone in my town was walking around, raising corpses and healing lepers I might mention it on my diary as that is clearly abnormal. No one said anything for almost a fucking century. No correspondence between historians on what would have been fucking historical. Nothing. If Jesus existed, he was just some goddamn nobody that no one deemed important enough to mention until the church made him into a superhero. That is the myth, magic jesus who heals blind people never existed ed.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
