Historian explains why Jesus ''mythers'' aren't taken seriously by most Historians

[Mudhammam]

No more so than any other myth that has been brought to life. All the planets, long before the Jesus myth, were once believed to be gods. And, unlike Jesus, the planets existence could be verified. 

And yet we now know that they aren't gods, but rather the perception of them being such is an invention of the human mind. Just like Jesus. 

Likewise, the days of the week are named after those same gods (or planets). These gods (or days of the week), better known now by their Norse cultivated roots, make up our current calendar associations. 

Shall we now validate the beliefs of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Norse religions, simply because their myths are now part of our culture? Or, would we be better suited to accept that myths are, as I said before, most often and most likely the invention of the human mind?

Whoa. Your logic is penetrating. However, in the future, try to avoid such blatant non-sequiturs.

If you're a historian, or someone moderately interested in understanding how it is that words and ideas developed over time, then yeah, all of those things would be relevant. No idea what you mean by "validate the beliefs," unless you think appreciating Homer the poet like some admire Jesus the man is validating belief in the Greek pantheon... which is just dumb. 

The only Jesus that would be worth considering would be one that:

Walked on water
Turned water into wine
Fed 5000 people with 2 fish
Raised Lazurus from the dead
Defeated death himself and walked among us

Something tells me a guy like that, however, doesn't need obviously unreliable and contradictory religious accounts to verify him as an historical figure. 

The very nature of religion is to make shit up, that's a mathematical certainty no matter which crap you are buying. Therefore, religious accounts are useless to anyone sincerely in search of truth.

 Oh, I love pathetic little tyrants who think everyone else is obligated to submit to their opinion!
