The Canonical Gospels Have No Authority

[Minimalist]

We can only evaluate the evidence we have....not the fantasies that spring from your desperation to believe in nonsense.

Unlike you, some people actually read your holy horseshit to see what it says...not what they hope it says.

Another bewildering author is Philo of Alexandria. He spent his first-century life in the Levant and even traversed Jesus-land. Philo chronicled contemporaries of Jesus—Bassus, Pilate, Tiberius, Sejanus, Caligula—yet knew nothing of the storied prophet and rabble-rouser enveloped in glory and astral marvels.

The Bible venerates the artist formerly known as Saul of Tarsus, but he was a man essentially oblivious to his savior. Paul was unaware of the virgin mother and ignorant of Jesus’s nativity, parentage, life events, ministry, miracles, apostles, betrayal, trial, and harrowing passion. Paul didn’t know where or when Jesus lived and considered the crucifixion metaphorical (Gal. 2:19–20). Unlike what is claimed in the Gospels, Paul never indicated that Jesus had come to Earth. And the “five hundred witnesses” claim (1 Cor. 15) is a forgery.

I read the works of second-century Christian father Athenagoras and never encountered the word Jesus—Athenagoras was unacquainted with the name of his savior! This floored me. Had I missed something? No; Athenagoras was another pious early Christian who was unaware of Jesus.

Now, I wouldn't expect you to take my word for it so you can check it yourself.

He's right. In the two extant writings we have of Athenagoras he makes impassioned defenses of xtian silliness but never mentions anyone name "jesus." Odd, no?

Here you go.

Read it and weep. He's one of your boys.
