As #Christian #apologetics gets dumber, so do defenses of the #historicity of #Jesus as witnessed in the embarrassing travesty of archaeologist Ken Dark's 7-page (!) defense against those dastardly #mythicists & their #blasphemous #JesusMyth #mythicism www.richardcarrier.info/archives/40833

Illustrated biblical meme showing Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist in river scene with tropical setting, palm trees, mountains, white dove with rays of light descending from blue sky with clouds, and crowd of witnesses in period clothing watching. White text with black outline at top reads: "JESUS' BAPTISM DOESN'T PROVE HE EXISTED." Bottom text reads: "MARK USES JOHN'S BAPTISM TO INTRODUCE JESUS BEFORE DIVINE BIRTH LEGENDS ARISE, AND LATER CHRISTIANS DROP OR RECAST IT ONCE JESUS IS FULLY GOD." Meme critiques use of baptism story as historical evidence, explaining literary evolution of Jesus narratives.
Jesus's supposed baptism doesn't actually prove he existed. There is a theological reason for it, and therefore can't be used as historical proof.

Allah the Almighty said: “ And their saying, ‘Indeed, we killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.’ But they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made to appear so to them.
Blast from the past! The full interview shot for #batmanandjesus It's me answering questions about why we can doubt #jesus existed, from many angles, from all the way back when I was not a fat old man. Enjoy! 😄

Christ Before Jesus is a book that just makes things up. At least that's what I explore in this article. Honestly, this is one of the worse books on Jesus mythicism that I've read.

There are only two possible Jesuses: a modest unknown preacher and healer or a mythical character.
So the question if Jesus was a nobody or not really anybody is not really important, but it never fails to interest us immensely.

Or never existed at all?

This book is a great example of how you don't respond to criticism. I get it, Ehrman did a poor job in his own book, but puffing out one's chest, while also whining, doesn't serve any real purpose. I'm working on a rebuttal to most of these articles, but just wow. #mythicism #exatheist #jesusmyth

Do you think there is more evidence for a Historical Jesus than for Caesar? Then check out this video:

Especially the magical version of Jesus, but the character, in general, was not a historical figure...
