Quote:early Christian writers, who really had little understanding of the man that lived decades before them, just copied the OT and Greek religion to piece together their implausible religious ideas.
They don't even need "a man" for that. Just a legend.
The most obvious that pops to mind is this from Plato's "Laws.
Quote:I would never concede to them that the rich man is really happy if he is not also good; while, if a man is superlatively good, it is impossible that he should be also superlatively rich.
The alleged jesus is given these words to mouth.
Quote:23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
