On Oct. 19, self-professed Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill is planning to make public some very flammable allegations. At a day-long symposium called "Covert Messiah" in London, England, he's set to unveil purported evidence that Roman aristocrats manufactured Jesus Christ - a claim that, if substantiated, would devalue the core of the Christian faith.

In other news, an armchair physicist in Australia claims to have made a room-temperature superconductor in his garage. Could this be the end of our energy problems?

This:
"Atwill said that governments often create "false histories and false gods" and that this is often done in an effort to secure social order."

So, how exactly is bashing Reagan and promoting Obama an effort to secure social order?

I heard there was some documented miracles, shrouds, and stuff that proved his existence. Especially if you believe.

As I've said before...I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract.

This.
Plus, the fact that people were martyred for this Person and His cause is a major factor in His favor: who the heck would put their neck on the line for someone who doesn't exist?!?

Not really. SH's argument in this quote has no logic behind it. People put their necks out for shit that doesn't exist all the time.
