Jesus died for all the sinful memes he knew you would create.

yeah he was a real person

Yes but he was a chink.

That's what Islam says, so it's actually not centrist

krayon (sister toucher) loves that

>magical powers

divine blessings

>The bit where he starts having magical powers, not so much

So how do you explain all the people who testified that he had magic powers? Did they just all collectively make it up?

there's a whole bunch of enlightened atheists who actually think no historical jesus existed, that people invented him 300 years later for some reason.

I normally hate !baptists and Baptist worship even more but gotta hand it to them with this one

>bitches

>math

Maybe Euclid was a girl

Let's not get ridiculous

No. Everyone that agrees with me is a based Richard Dawkins Le Atheist.

Most of our knowledge of Alexander the Great comes from sources that came a century after his death.

Also, consider that these were biographies about famous philosophers and kings, the oldest surviving account of Alexander's the Great life was written by Plutarch centuries later. There were likely older sources though based on Ptolemy I memories but still, the Gospels are not about a great King, there are about a peasant preacher from an insignificant province and they were written just a few decades after his dead, I don't understand why Christ mythicist find it so hard to believe some apocalyptic preacher was crucified by the Romans and that his followers were sincerely convinced of his resurrection to the point of preserving and spreading his teachings.

Agreed, 100%. !historychads, the "Jesus wasn't real" cope has always baffled me. Even if we completely discount anything and everything written by his apostles or their followers, decidedly non-Christian historians like Josephus and Tacitus wrote their accounts just a few decades after Jesus's death. People that were alive at the time of the crucifixion were still around. This was not some ancient tale to them.

Given that at the time of his death, Jesus was nothing more than the leader of some unusual religious sect in a far-off Roman province, that's a shocking amount of evidence. Especially when you factor in how few writings from the period have even survived to the present day.

Could you imagine if other classical figures were held to the same standard? For instance, if Aristophanes' The Clouds and a couple bits of Timon of Philius's Silloi hadn't survived antiquity, the only written accounts of Socrates we'd have would be ones written by his students and his students' students. If we're discounting Paul as a source, we've got to discount Plato. And Timon of Philius was born 79 years after Socrates died, whereas Josephus was born 4 to 7 years after Jesus died.

So Socrates is real because The Clouds wasn't one of the dozens of Aristophanes plays lost to the sands of time, but Jesus is fake because none of the contemporary writings about him managed the same? That's all it takes? Because if any classicist tried to answer the "Socratic problem" with "Socrates was a fictional character. He didn't exist.", they'd immediately be laughed out of the room.

I'll be frank, people that insist Yeshua of Nazareth is a purely religious invention with no basis in historical fact are typically petulant children that have somehow made it to adulthood and are still throwing a tantrum because mommy and daddy made them go to church. You know... morons.

Okay but Pythagoras was a god and he was completely in the right about smiting that square root of two dude.

I forgot to tag !historychads so im gonna use your comment for it.

They aren't saying the same thing. The god portrayed in genesis isn't even omniscient

Wow just like how there's 1 million bot accounts saying the same thing on Twitter, so it must be true!
