Well, you are currently posting and your posts are definitely beyond the A.I. tech that exists for bots. But as far as ancient texts go, especially religious texts, it's safe to assume none of these people were real. I know it's cliche and "edgy" but these texts were used to control populations with limited education Exists as far as you know... And I could still be babies in a trench coat. And that's not really 'proof', just speculation on your part. And yea. It is edgy and cliche. You're basically automatically assuming the worst possible outcome from a pessimistic viewpoint to sculpt a world view dependent on a personal narrative. Wanna know something? Rome was a powerful empire. They regularly squashed rebellions of a multitude of types with practiced ease. Their Hellenistic religion was dominate as well. They had plenty of other people like Egyptians and Gauls who followed their own pantheons and it wasn't an issue. They wouldn't have needed a religion to control the populace because they had the boots of the imperial legions to do it already. Following the collapse of Rome there were still ample revolts and the like but they were kept mostly under control by the nobility and the like. They didn't NEED religion to serve as a means to 'control populations with limited education'. They had the nobles and the knights to deal with that (as well as near-constant wars happening among other things to make it so that the focus was elsewhere anyways). You're basically assuming an all-powerful, malicious, cabal of religious elites existed that was obsessed with obtaining power because they're afraid that some peasants who probably couldn't even consider leaving their local village in the first place unless they were lucky enough to have a horse will revolt and overthrow an entire system of government unless they're sedated with stories of a magic man who loves them that they'd see through in an instant if their knowledge didn't cap out at the best implementation of fertilizer. That's not even skeptical. That's flat-out irrational conspiracy theory. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can tell me probably nothing about Rome I don't already know. I listened to the entire famous history of Rome podcast (an absolute shitload of info more than any textbook has). Also, holy strawman arguments. What can't be explained as using it as a form of control can be explained as making up a skyman and fairy tales to cope with death. I don't know if you've read the Bible but everything in it is "slightly" far fetched ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've read through the Bible multiple times. It's why I find your claim ridiculous. Because you seem to be arbitrary deciding if something exists or not based upon a massively pessimistic and self-serving world view.

I don't think he ever existed. I'm not convinced. I have this theory that maybe he is based on an amalgamation of several people. Apparently there were a lot of prophets running around Judea then. Possibly a bunch of individuals had their stories mixed up, combined and exaggerated until one legendary figure was invented MeadCore posted... I dont think it matters if he existed or not. Because he exists now in the minds of so many. He exists to them more than most humans that actually existed. So who is more real in the end? For me it comes down to, If you are asking me if the man, Joshua of Galilee existed, and had a wife and children, I would say yes. If you are asking me if Jesus The Christ exists, I would say in the hearts and minds of those that believe in him. --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking.

Seems like something holier than thou, brainwashed, atheist types regurgitate. Honestly, I've seen far more braindead, close-minded, fanatical, holier-than-thou types on the atheist side than the theist side in these arguments. Not really much point in continuing this though since I'm no longer convinced you aren't just a sock puppet controlled by Dawkins. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Posts like this are ridiculous considering you use the bible as a "historical source" then claim that it's completely valid while not citing any external sources. I seem to recall saying that the Bible wasn't a historical source but, rather, a collection of various documents, organized into books, with varying intentions. But that's sort of irrelevant here. The question being asked is not if Christianity is true or not. It's if Jesus existed or not. For that the Bible has a compilation of four first-hand accounts that he did, in fact, exist. The faith didn't slowly form over centuries or anything of the sort but, rather, sprung up swiftly with a clear centralized message revolving around the actions of a single individual. A single individual who was only in the limelight for a relatively short timeframe in a small region of the world before his death. It would be next to impossible to have an outside source confirm his existence before his death because they would have such a small timeframe to even take note of it. There are some accounts from non-Christian sources such as Tacitus referencing that Christ had been executed by Pilate. However even this account came about AFTER his death meaning that, even if it was 100% accurate and factual, Tacitus did not meet Jesus and thusly didn't have a first-hand account of him. And, really, think about it. Who WOULD have written about it? If you were in India you wouldn't have even known he was around. Few Romans would have cared about the religious dealings of a subjugated people causing problems in a faith they weren't a part of. I wish I knew what reasonable burden of proof could even be given in a situation like this because, if four first hand accounts combined with an entire religion springing up around a very specific individual aren't proof that said individual existed, I don't know what proof could even be asked. ...

Spider-Man also has first hand accounts of Spider-Man existing....
the only historical mention of a historical Jesus is allegedly roman writings. however. Given the times the mythology comes from anyone could be the basis for the stories. A wandering preacher would not be uncommon. But whether they were nammed Jesus or even fit the rest of the check boxes of christian mythology is another story. who is to say the mythology isnt based on a guy in the wrong place at the wrong time nammed Brian? --- "I pet my dog I don't eat it" ~ Lemone ...
