For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus

[DeistPaladin]

How so? Tacitus never sees a jesus. What he writes is hearsay. He is only repeating what he heard not what he saw. He is talking about Nero blaming the christians for the burning of Rome and them shouting something about a Chrestus as their saviour. That word as been forged by a later hand.

It's a rhetorical device that I start with some gentle or generous statement about the other side, followed by a "however..." type of transition before I level the other side's point completely.

The problem is ; things aren't that simple. A character with the size of Jesus is something really big, you need at least hundreds of people (with the same mentality,goal & capabilities) to hold to the same ideas for hundreds of years, forge thousands of bibles & books, just to invent Jesus ?

Nobody has suggested that "somebody invented Jesus one day". My post here outlines how such an urban legend could have formed.

That kind of effort -especially if you're hunted by Roman soldiers- is an impossible task ; the reason stays : WHY ? why would they forge that ?

You're blending folklore with history.

Religions were never racial ; those religions weren't forged by countries or states. All evidence proves, that people started that, not kings & emperors,the reason stays : why would medieval peasants do that ?

WTF? Medieval peasants? You've jumped 1000 years in history.

Sometimes, people think about the ancient humans as if they were modern. Ancient humans were simple, most of them couldn't read.

All the more reason why folklore and urban legend could have run unchecked.
