An Important Recap on Modern Scholarship
...not to mention a kick in the nuts to jesus freaks.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/30/di...-think-so/


Quote:Did the historical Jesus exist? A growing number of scholars don’t think so

Quote:The notion that Jesus never existed is a minority position. Of course it is! says David Fitzgerald, author of Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All . For centuries all serious scholars of Christianity were Christians themselves, and modern secular scholars lean heavily on the groundwork that they laid in collecting, preserving, and analyzing ancient texts. Even today most secular scholars come out of a religious background, and many operate by default under historical presumptions of their former faith.


Now let the wailing and shrieking from the faith-fucks commence!
