Jesus was made up

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? :lol:

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

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

But to quote the Dahli Lama..."you're problem is...you think you have time".

So the Romans made up a figure that would generate lots of upheaval and turmoil within the regional religious organizations? Yeah makes total sense. :lol:

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?!?
