Go Blow Jesus Out Your Ass

I never did fool.

You always fool.

Why do you want to stop speaking English?

Mary's role was the subject of heated debate at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD.  

It actually led to a major schism.

A schism ?

How can a religion with tons and tons of evidence be subject to different interpretations that would lead to a schism ??

ESPECIALLY about some major tenet of the faith ??

My comment about Mary not existing until about 1100 A.D. or so has to do with the name = Mary = and not necessarily with the character.  It's important to remember that the Bible is an English creation so the writers kept changing the names of the main characters  to reflect their biases.  But a couple of Dutch conmen came up with the name of Jesus, which didn't exist before 1630.

The important thing about names is that they influence how and what you think about the characters.  Even if you didn't know anything about biblical stories wouldn't you think that Mary would be a more appropriate name for "Jesus'" mommy than Jezebel?

The bible, as a pointless pile of dogshit, existed long before English was even a language.  That it was subsequently written into English does not obviate the fact that it existed in Latin and Greek from the 4th century onward.  And yes, the letter J was a medieval invention but no one had any trouble calling the fucker Iesou prior to that.

The Bible didn't exist as a comprehensive book until a committee of story tellers, writers, and artists in England published three master copies written in Latin in 692 A.D.  That's not to say that were no manuscripts of assorted individual religious stories floating around but they were not the Bible.

That might be what mainstream scholarship thinks, but even by historical standards they don't have impressive reasons for thinking it. In any case, comparing him to individuals like Caesar (which one?) and Alexander the Great is a pretty thorough demonstration of the fact that you don't understand historicity very well.

You also missed the part where those same scholars consider your gospels to be narratives with little to no truth to them.

You don't get it Pinky, do you?  

Can't you see that every single time that atheists come up with a new story I destroy it.
These stories are like bubbles of air.
Is so easy to destroy them that you have no idea.
All I do is blow them and they burst.  

Now that I destroyed your bubble that say that there is no historicity in Jesus story you come up with more stories.  

For God's sake Pinky give a brake to your mind and come to the conclusion that there is no future in atheism.
None of whatsoever mate.
It is a complete downfall into nothingness.  

The story hasn't changed, dude. Jesus of Nazareth has practically no historicity, and even mainstream scholarship concedes that the stories about him are either mostly or entirely bullshit. Either way, the character we see in the Bible is fictional, and your knockoff gospel Jesus is also fictional.
