Did historical Jesus really exist? The evidence just doesn’t add up.

There are clearly good reasons to doubt Jesus’ historical existence.

But at the bottom of the page is another fantastic article that our residents theists should read:

When my son survived a serious accident, I didn’t thank God. I thanked Honda.

Here are 5 reasons to suspect Jesus never existed

This is an improvement over the old model wherein stories of silly jesus shit were released around xmas to get believers all warm in the pants!

Things are looking up, guys.

As opposed to some others I don't think it's that important if a guy named Jesus existed or not. The story, probably created at campfires along the trade routes, don't add up in any case. Even if you scrap the supernatural and stick to Roman law. Which is still taught at European universities and probably at the anglosaxon universities too, since it's the role model for case law.

According to the Bible’s creation account, after making the heavens and the earth, God created humankind. The story of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 states that God formed Adam out of the dust of the ground, and then Eve was created from one of Adam’s ribs. But was it really his rib?

The Hebrew word that is traditionally translated as “rib” is tsela‘. Ziony Zevit, Distinguished Professor of Biblical Literature and Northwest Semitic Languages at American Jewish University in Bel-Air, California, believes that this translation is wrong, as do many scholars. It was first translated as “rib” in the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible from the mid-third century B.C.E. However, a more careful reading of the Hebrew word for “rib” in the Adam and Eve story suggests that Eve was created from another, very different, part of Adam’s anatomy—his os baculum (penis bone).

According to Zevit, “rib” is the wrong translation for tsela‘ in the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible. Zevit believes that tsela‘ should be translated as “a non-specific, general term,” such as one of Adam’s lateral limbs, in the Adam and Eve story. Thus, it refers to “limbs lateral to the vertical axis of an erect human body: hands, feet, or, in the case of males, the penis.”

Which of these lateral limbs lacks a bone? Human males do not have a penis bone, but many mammals do. Zevit concludes that in the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible, the woman was created from the man’s baculum to explain why this appendage does not have a bone.

We all know how uptight fundies are about sex!

So oral sex on a woman is actually a manifestation of  . . . .
