There's very few secular sources that even mention Christ, why not stack the deck? Wouldn't you just forge the hell out of everything and make claims of dead historians who can't say which is which? So you think all of it's a myth or been changed and exaagerated? WHy did Thalius say there was an event that went dark that day? Is Josephus fake? Why didn't they steck the deck and go even more out of their way to prove the so called Jesus myth? Oh and btw, thanks everybody, this has really been eyeopening and I even stopped jacking off for this, big big deal to me. I'm trying to break through the matrix
In religion, AND NOT JUST CHRISTIANITY, but worldwide, humans have used the "after the fact" tactic in their writings to promote a story.
One can watch a movie of Superman flying around very real cities, but humans still do not fly like that.
Religious retrofitting works the same way. Pepper a writing with real people and real places after the fact still would not make the fantastic claims true. Josephus was way after the fact, not a contemporary. And it still remains that babies ARE NOT born without a second set of DNA and humans do not survive rigor mortis if you were to murder a human in the manor the death myth would imply.
Even with Buddhism. In the west at least, there is a false romantic idea that it is a philosophy and not a religion. But if one does research on the history of the oldest claims of Buddha, depending on the "historian" you still see that those claims are in close proximity to ancient India and include many of the same concepts of Hinduism, like Karma and reincarnation. And even the Buddhist mythology had him born from royalty in Queen Maya, whom was told by the divine world that she would give birth to a boy who would bring wisdom to the world. And his birth from Queen Maya had him born out of her side instead of real natural birth through the vagina.
Point is, religions are NOT SCIENCE, they are simply the social norms people buy and sell and like.
