Jesus was historically a real person but also quite different than depicted in many religious contexts.
Uncivilized has an interesting video about whether Jesus was a revolutionary
Jesus was not a real person. Jesus is as real as Noah and his ark. As Lot and his horny daughters. It’s all a collection of oral tales that have been told in many cultures. There may have been “Jesus Like” figures. And, many may have even taken on his name. It’s a common name.
It becomes so obvious when you read how many similar tales exist: Horus, Mithras, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Dionysus, Osiris, Heracles, Tammuz, Attis.
In 2000 years, expect Capital America to have a following of zealots.
From the first paragraph…
I’m happy “scholars agree.” But that isn’t evidence. That’s a bunch of dudes who love Jesus finding a way to prove his actual existence.
If you look hard enough, you can find evidence to prove whatever you want, as long as that isn’t disproven with science.
