This video, I'm painstakingly mapping out all of the events in the Gospels and comparing them to one another.
I'm genuinely surprised as to just how bit a mess it is.
I'd thought that the Synoptics would have their story relatively straight and John's would contradict them all. I'm finishing up with Luke now and have found that all three of the so-called "synoptic" (similar) Gospels... aren't. Each one has their own order of events.
I hadn't noticed it before because all three have similar "episodes" (walking on water, etc) but the order is different for all of them.
It just gets better and better.
How did anyone EVER believe this crap?
The christ is a MYTH - there NEVER was such a being on the earth.
WHile there MIGHT (ANd we have no reason to believe that as well) have been a HUMAN upon whom the exaggerations and myths and legends of the fictional christ started - it certainly got out of hand early on.
It is clear that the "bible" is nothing more than a collection of myths and legends - all fiction - of a group of ancient goat herders in a mountainous region of the middle east - who clearly made up much of this - and added it to the things they got from other religions they were exposed to.
If there was a "Jesus of Nazareth" from that time - then he was a corpse - since Nazareth was nothing more than a burial place - it was NOT a city with a temple at the supposed time of the christ.
Of course - "Jesus" never lived at that time -there was NO letter "J" in any language of the time - and not until the 1400's or so. SO we can actually say there that JESUS did not live.
THe time was the golden age of Rome - to say that we have poor records of the time is nonsense - we have more records of that time that many times in the Dark Ages - even to the point of records of the results of turtle races in Rome. THERE is not a single document that we have - from the supposed time of the christ - that even mentions his name - NONE AT ALL.
It is interesting to note that - especially in LUKE - the writer of the fiction clearly did not know much about that actual area - since the sequence of cities is wrong in travels.
A woman - late in her pregnancy - who was forced to travel to Bethlehem in that area would surely have lost her child or had other problems.
Rome did not return bodies of crucifixions - they were left on the crosses for scavengers - the idea that they did so - on the basis of religious belief of a captured group - is actually quite humorous.
Rome also did not crucify thiefs - so that part of the story is simply obvious nonsense
People have written whole books on the subject of why the bible is fiction - why it has contradictions and has physically wrong things - events - and claims.
People only believe this because they were forced to NOT QUESTION it when they were young. However - today - religion is waning in the Western world - and especially among younger people - who often are religious only to prevent family problems but actually do not believe.
But - there are 7 Billion people in the world - and some of them are simply too stupid to see the problems.
IF you want to know what is the correct religion - ask THEIST themselves. THey will gladly give you LOTS of logical and reasonable reasons why every religion is false!
