For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus

[Drich]

I can't make heads or tails of this, your references are just bits and peices of information with nothing tying them together. At best your efforts call Christianity orgins into question, but does not provide an alternitive orgin model. Or is that the purpose? You wish to dispute established/accepted History without a follow up hypothsis.. Heck why not just call Christianity's entire history and current existance into Question? Why not simply say it never existed?

This topic isn't for Christians who believe that Jesus is a supernatural being or for people who think that there might have been an historical Jesus who was obscured by myths and legends. The exercise is to come up with an explanation for Christianity starting when it did if there wasn't a real man who was believed to be the Messiah by some people. I haven't provided an alternative origin model myself because I'm curious to see what other people suggest in answer to my questions.

My bits and pieces of information are there for people to take into account when making suggestions. In 64 AD Christians were saying that their Christus was executed by Pontius Pilate - as PP was prefect between AD 26–36, the crucifixion they believed in could only have taken place between 38 years to 28 years ago from their perspective. Either way it was within living memory for people living in 64 AD.

Everything suggests that Christianity began as some kind of Jewish movement. After all, why would Greek speaking Gentiles start a new religion about a Jewish Messiah who spent all his life in Judea? This leads to the question of how and why Christianity spread to Greek speaking Gentiles. I'm curious to hear what suggestions people come up with when there's no concrete evidence that Paul existed.

PS @catfish

Imma gunna pull the Richard Dawkins card and suggest that aliens seeded the start of Christianity....

You haven't explained why aliens would want to do such a thing, though.

So your putting together an arguement, and you need help filling in the holes.
