Tiberious Wrote:Not really, no. I like to follow where the evidence points me, and as far as I am aware, the general consensus among scholars is that Jesus existed in some form. The whole "jesus myth" is more of a conspiracy than anything, relying on dodgy facts and outright lies in order to get their point across. I tend not to support or give credibility to people who use such tactics.I don't know how they manage to come to that conclusion, but jeez this guy is well hidden. If I want to read about Caesar, I simply pick up a history book. With Jesus it takes an army of archaeologists and scholars to try and come up with ways of explaining His existence.
Quote:I think a lot of history was lost back then. That doesn't change the fact that Christianity very quickly expanded after Jesus' death, and has lasted until this day.After the events, it's easy to expand it when you're making the NT come across as witness accounts. This is the very reason why I went from a confused Catholic to born again Follower of Christ.
If Christians actually did research on the historical documents they're reading, they will be in for a very rude shock.
