Ancient Confession Found: 'We Invented Jesus Christ'

RE: Ancient Confession Found: 'We Invented Jesus Christ'
(October 9, 2013 at 3:25 pm)Sword of Christ Wrote: If Jesus had been invented it then would have gone something like this.

"Good news Christ has risen!"

"Who?"

"Jesus Christ was executed a few years and rose again?"

Nothing written about any of this by any contemporaneous historian, even though there were many of them in the area at the time.

Not a single record of a rabble rousing, miracle working Rabbi.

Nothing about a large number of holy men rising from graves and wandering around Jerusalem.

Not a single culture anywhere near the area recorded a thing about the sun going black for 3 hours, even though this would have been a terrifying event.

Quote:And that would have killed the movement in it's tracks.

What saved the movement was Constantine. If he decided the state religion was going to be Zoroastrianism, you'd be praying to Ahura Mazda now. I'd still be an atheist.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
