These tards don't realize that if they applied the same rigorous standards to everyone else it would blow away just about everything we know from before the Roman Empire and a lot of that too. And don't say it's different because the Greeks were rational believers in science not superstition. Half the time when people wrote about Pythagoras they considered him a god, sometimes even the same thing as Apollo. It's really easy to find accounts of him using supernatural powers and really hard to find anything in math that he invented.

Or for frick's sake, let's look at Euclid. The encyclopedia will tell you (based on nothing) that he was a Greek mathematician. What do we really know about him? We have the name Euclid and its from Egypt. That's it. That's our entire knowledge of the guy. Is he even a guy? Maybe "Euclid" is the name of a god, group of people, or a school, or the book itself. Maybe Euclid was a girl. Not only do we have no proof of this guy's existence, we have no proof that he was even supposed to be a guy at all.

I'm not popping in here to debate whether Jesus existed, though. He probably did. My doubts involve the supernatural elements and whether the accounts about Jesus were all actually about a single person.

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.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

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. :platyold:

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. :marseydisintegrate:

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. :marseycrucified:

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. :marseylaughpoundfist:

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. :marseysmugretard:

Probably a fella named Yosef and a woman named Miriam, but maybe not. From a non-religious perspective, it doesn't really matter. There's all sorts of historical figures of unknown or dubious parentage. :marseyfatherjoseph: :marseymothermary:

What did he historically do?

Lived, preached, and died. Probably stayed dead, but if you're Christian, you might think otherwise. :marseyitisfinished:

What did he historically say?

Impossible to know. That's why I made the Socrates comparison. Everything we know about his philosophy comes from his students (Plato, Xenophon, etc.), and their accounts don't always agree with each other. :marseygiganoyou:

I'm going to beat you to death with a dictionary composed entirely of the definition of "history" repeated 1,000,000,000 times. :marseyderanged:

Do you have children? For the sake of the gene pool, I certainly hope not. :marseywhirlyhat:

When did Jesus die? Was Jesus crucified on the day when you slaughter a lamb (Matthew Mark Luke) or the day after (John)?

No idea about the lamb slaughter, because again, it doesn't really matter historically. We are as far from John F. Kennedy's assassination as Josephus was from Jesus's crucifixion when he wrote Antiquities of the Jews, and even with all our modern technology and record keeping, people can't agree what happened that day. Does that mean Kennedy didn't exist? :marseyjfk:

None of these questions are difficult to answer if you don't expect some absurd level of precision. Which is what makes the whole thing so ridiculous. No one demands a perfectly accurate biography of any comparable historical figure. But for reasons that definitely have nothing to do with childish tantrum throwing, it's expected of Jesus. :marseyeyeroll:

Best explanation ever

Yes it does because only 1/4 Canonic Gospels named Jesus "The Lamb Of God," yet Christians honor this title despite the other Gospels require 2 or 3 witnesses, which means John is not a valid witness, and therefore Jesus is NOT the Lamb of God.

Joseph Smith, Muhammad and L Ron Hubbard also have a ton of r-slurred contradictory teachings and claims of miracles and details about their life stories that don't add up. That's a problem for Mormons, Muslims and Scientologists claiming their religious teachings are true rather than an argument against their founders existing as historical figures.

I think all religions are bullshit, as historical phenomena they still have founders and it's more likely that the minor executed Jewish preacher that these 1st and 2nd century sources squabble about was a real human with supernatural nonsense ascribed to them than a total fabrication.

If completely made up, you run into questions like why Paul wrote in letters to preexisting Christian communities about getting in fights with Jesus' actual surviving friends and family, disagreeing with them about teachings, and Paul trying to compensate for having never actually met Jesus when he addressed audiences. Or why Jewish author Josephus mentions that a James "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ" was tried and executed during the leadup to another failed Jewish rebellion.

The Nativity stories were made up to fit the prophecies.

The only thing we can say about historical Jesus is that he was an apocalyptic preacher from Galilee who got crucified by the Romans, probably because of that scene he made in the temple. If that actually happened he would be arrested in site and his โ€œtrialโ€ wouldn't last more than a few minutes.

The Baptism by John seems historical as well as baptism indicated he was John's follower and initially part of his cult. That's something early Christians would be ashamed off, that's why in the Gospels Jesus humblebrags โ€œNo John, it's ok if you Baptize meโ€.
