Jesus ain't no Myth, ain't no fairytale, and certainly ain't no legend.

A lot of us will say, I don't believe in God, Jesus, or Christianity, because I think it's all made up - just another myth, fairytale or legend... well Jesus weren't no Myth.
Is God real? Was Christianity just made up - invented for control, money, and power? Was the God of Christianity copied from other ancient mythical gods such as Mithras, Horus, and Dionysus? Is there any historical support to this claim? What do the scholars say?

Well is that reasonable evidence he healed people? Because this video seems to think that a handful of authors of the Bible writing of something they were convinced of is a good enough reason to believe Jesus resurrected. To me that's identical to believing Popoff's followers' writings. Both ideas have 1. Reasonable evidence that a real human by that name existed 2. No evidence of any of the supernatural claims that human is said to have performed. (So just when we needed extremely strong evidence, it turned out we had no additional evidence at all.)

So either one is true and all other are false (unlikely) or they all contain some truth that was man made and can represent a higher truth but at different degree, with different mistakes and shortcomings. (more likely) I think men need religion, it’s part of who we are, like a consciousness that span many generations and prevent us from falling into the same trap generation after generation. Different culture have different patterns and lead to slightly different outcomes, without religion we are lost, free agent that can’t build a society, have a family, a community. Believing in the literal sense what the only way for a long time, but we need to transition to believing in a symbolic way to integrate differents cultures, science and the good parts of religion.

Would it make more sense for all people to come somewhat close to the answer, maybe get some of the steps right but not all, or for them to all come up with completely different answers using completely different math? The similarity of answers doesn't discount the right answer. In fact it points to the validity of the correct answer. All people are born with an instinct for truth. Which is why people hold similar morals to Christianity. Because they sense what is good and true and form their religions around that. Their only mistake is how they go about achieving that goodness and truth, because they desire good things without having to bow to the one who gives them good things, and without having to admit their own depravity.

In math, there are many times when people get the same answer by different means; math cannot be comparable to a belief. Math has been a man-made functional concept since the Sumerians, the birthplace of society, math, and writing. Also your analogy could also be said by a person who practices Buddhism, Taoism, the Baháʼí Faith, Jainism, Confucianism, Shinto, and Zoroastrianism, and basically every other belief. There's no difference in your belief from anybody else. All people believe their religion is right, so saying that another's is not is just proselytizing.

[@colbylippincott7173]

@@chilidoghog religion is a logical solution to a problem. Problem: Why are we here instead of not here? Answer: A god created us. It's only a "belief" because you classify it that way as a way to downplay it. Even if you are atheist and believe the universe came from nothing, or always existed, it is still using logic to explain a problem. You still have to look at all the evidence and interpret it, because you weren't there to witness the creation of the world, and you can't recreate it. That would be a "belief" according to that logic. Math is just another way of using logic to solve a problem. You could say it is different because the outcome of math is verifiable by others, but it depends on the problem. For instance, if you were to try to calculate the relationship between the radius and circumference of a circle, there are many ways to prove the same thing and so it is verifiable. This is not the kind of math problem I'm comparing to religion. You can't tell God to do a miracle and verify that yes, that in fact happens when I tell Him what to do. And if he worked like that, I doubt anyone would want to worship such a god. He would just be another physical phenomenon. I'm talking about unverifiable math problems. Mind you that doesn't mean there is no evidence. Only that there is no way to replicate a cause and effect. For instance all the math that goes into explaining the Big Bang. We can't replicate that, and we didn't see it, and so we can't verify it. It doesn't mean there is no evidence. But this would also be classified as a "belief" according to your criteria. And yet the Big Bang theory is preferentially treated as fact despite that. Also, I'm not downplaying other religions. I'm saying that many religions come close to the answer just like you would expect. And that the existence of many doesn't mean that they are all false. On the contrary it means that likely, one of them are true.

[@chilidoghog]

@@colbylippincott7173 If the math problem you are using to describe your analogy is unverifiable by others, then it's wrong. There are only two ways to solve the relationship between the radius and circumference of a circle as well. As for Evidence of Christianity vs the Big Bang Theory, Christianity has no evidence that any of the bibles were truth, they were just written by patriarchal figures from long ago. Keep in mind back then, many people drank wine, however the methods of this time to produce wine also carried hallucinations because of the way they let grapes slightly rot. Ancient Greek wine was nothing like the wine of today. For a period of well over a thousand years from Homer to the fall of the Roman Empire, wine is consistently referred to as a pharmakon (drug). It was routinely spiked with plants, herbs and toxins, making it unusually intoxicating, seriously mind-altering, occasionally hallucinogenic and potentially lethal. No less than 56 detailed recipes for spiked wine can be found in Book V of Dioscorides’ Materia Medica, an ancient pharmacopoeia, whose author lived at the exact same time that the Gospels themselves were being written in the first century AD. Drawing on more than ten years of research across six countries, Muraresku links the drug-fuelled rituals of Ancient Greece and the Mediterranean to the simultaneous outgrowth of Christianity in first-century Israel. The bottom-line is that it’s far from absurd - and perhaps entirely reasonable - to think that some early Greek-speaking Christians had hallucinogens in their ritual wines. This can very easily explain how all of the bibles were written, and why psychedelics were a big factor in Christianity belief. The Big bang Theory however has actual evidence and math to support it and be verifiable. Astronomers combine mathematical models with observations to develop workable theories of how the Universe came to be. The mathematical underpinnings of the Big Bang theory include Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity along with standard theories of fundamental particles. A wide range of empirical evidence strongly favors the Big Bang event, which is now essentially universally accepted. Detailed measurements of the expansion rate of the universe place the Big Bang singularity at an estimated 13.787±0.020 billion years ago, which is considered the age of the universe. This is also more than "belief" it is empirical evidence. And no, Christianity is a belief. Any religion is a belief, not a fact, it cannot be proven any religions actually exist. That's the difference between "empirical evidence" of the Big Bang Theory, and the belief of Christianity and other world religions.

​​@David19746The bible is reliable ? Historically, yes. The bible is believable ? The bible is made up of several stories and testimonies of people who followed this faith, the purpose of the bible is to be a document that carries and promotes the beliefs of these people, and because of this it is not very reliable if you want to have information about its veracity or no, after all the authors wanted to promote their worldview in favor of their beliefs, that is, in a biased way. So much so that many historians prefer neutral sources external to the Bible that comment on events of the period to confirm whether it was real or not, thus avoiding biased conclusions.

Will you gain anything by persisting in ignorance? Seek wisdom and truth and it will manifest into a better life, here on Earth and beyond. Remember that your situation is not permanent. Denying God won't help because you don't know the future, but he does. Jesus makes a good case for trusting that God shall provide. Just as he feeds the birds of the trees, who have no tents or money; why won't the Lord provide for all his faithful? If a child asks his dad for a toy, will the dad give him a rock? Why think less of our heavenly Father? It's more beneficial to trust that he has a plan for us, so that we may be attentive enough to participate in that plan. The Israelites kept complaining of their tough living conditions in the desert after being rescued from slavery. They lost faith and got distracted by falsehood and ignorance. The consequence was that it took them 40 years to reach the promised land. Faith in God is very important. He will give you a sense of peace and relief, knowing that you're in communion with the creator of the universe. Unceasingly ask him for what you truly need and for patience to wait for him to deliver. I know that he always does. I also was virtually an atheist more than a year ago. I was contacted via divine intervention. It was an invitation to try out a different lifestyle, opposite from the one I was living. All your life you've been living as by your choices, still you aren't happy, he said. Why not try the opposite and see if it helps? Immediately the next morning I confessed my sins and got absolved by the church. I haven't been the same since! I pray for you friend, that God may reveal himself to you, as he did for me. I also pray that you enter into the appropriate mindset so that you may be fully receptive to his call. In the name of the blessed Trinity. Amen

With God, in my opinion, no one has ever been able to prove to me that their god exists. I can believe there is a higher power involved in the creation of the world because everything is so perfectly put into place but religion just doesn’t cut it for me because it’s just faith to me and that isn’t the most reliable source. The things documented by people who have said they have spoken to God may or may not be true but they can’t prove it. Also there may have been either extraneous or confounding variables that may have come into place, but it wouldn’t be known because it can’t just be replicated. That’s not to say of course it is false, just not enough evidence. I study both science and psychology and in both you have to be able to prove why something is what it is, which is done through replication and assessments. Faith is a large thing and very well may produce results but…I’m not sure how to put this in simpler terms, but it basically could be a demand characteristic or the placebo affect where a person who expects something to happen might think they are experiencing it and therefore says it is what it is. I’m not saying that is what faith it but because we can’t measure all these different factors about religion it can’t be considered the truth. Of course science isn’t 100% but it has a process that is very strict on maintaining integrity and it does produce results. Right now it is obviously still lacking a lot but I think as time goes on there will be more knowledge on why we exist, maybe it might even be able to prove a religion to be true but right now it’s just yeah.

[@philliprobinson7724]

Hi jro. Mark Twain was wrong. The first religion started when man overcame his fear of fire and used it to drive away the predators that hunted by night. Safety at last! Fire stampeded the animals we ate over high cliffs (instead of dangerously hunting them), it cooked inedible raw vegetables, increasing the food supply, and kept us warm. Fire also set fire to our fur/pelt, so the chief fire tenders wore animal skins to protect them from the sparks and heat, the start of clothing. The first religion was based on fire, because it separated man from the animal world. Fire gave man the power of gods and it must have inspired the first religion. Consider the following cliches: 1/ "Our God is a consuming fire." 2/ "Each man's work will be tested in the fire". 3/ "The Holy Spirit appeared upon their heads like cloven tongues of fire". 4/ Most Christian sects have ceremonies where candles or incense are burned. 5/ Judaism has a holy 7 branched candelabra called "the menorah". 6/ The ultimate punishment within Christianity is being burnt at the stake. 7/ Despite being very civilized, the Salvation Army's motto is nevertheless "blood and fire". We are all children of the flame, and without fire we return to being animals. Mark Twain told a rattling good yarn, but he lacked a scientific imagination. Blaming fraudsters for religion's existence is most unfair, possibly even dishonest. Jesus told us that con-men would use his name. (Matt 7:21-23). Cheers, P.R.

So its 1 flip times the number of options, times the number of options for each consecutive flip. So with a penny its 1x2x2x2x2x2x2... If it was a dice 1x6x6x6x6x6x6x6...

"Would you die for something you knew was a lie?" I imagine the answer most people would give to this would be 'no', but it doesn't follow from this that if someone is willing to die for something it must therefore be true. We must accept that *knowledge*, not *truth*, is the salient factor; a lie, if believed to be true (and believed with enough force), can certainly become something someone would be willing to die for. Put very simply: being willing to die for something does not do anything to show whether or not it is true. As for the video in general, even if we accept the specific counter-arguments given against the respective claims, it doesn't follow that Christianity has been shown to be true; rather, it has been shown to be somewhat unique (at least among monotheistic faiths) but uniqueness doesn't indicate truth. A big problem with the accounts of Jesus given in the Gospels is that there is no secondary evidence to support them; there are the Gospels, and nothing more. There may be evidence that a man named Jesus was alive at that time and in that part of the world, but this ought not to compel us to believe that the Gospels are correct. If someone claims that they saw the author Ken Follett teleport from one side of King's Cross station to the other, and I don't believe them, it doesn't do the proponent of the story any good to merely prove that Mr. Follett was in the station around that time. What ought to strike us about Christianity, and religion in general, is that there is rarely a compelling case that a non-believer can make that would compel *themselves* to change their mind. If I believe that London is not the capital of England, I can find all the evidence I need to construct a counter-claim that ought to change my mind. Put simply, I ought to be able to change my own mind. Religion doesn't allow for this, as an atheist such as myself does not believe that divinity is possible, or that there could exist anything that might indicate such divinity.

[@pcdeltalink036]

I feel that for your first paragraph the emphasis needs to be that the disciples died not for something that they only held to by belief (as Christians today do) but rather, what they all claimed to have seen with their own two eyes: a dead man returned to life. That is completely different compared to just a belief one happens to be holding or that was told to an individual later on. They were eyewitnesses. As for your second paragraph there are plenty of historical and non-Christian sources outside the Bible regarding Jesus' existence as well as his performance of miracles. So your statement that "there are the Gospels, and nothing more." is just false. A 5 minute Google search would have given you the answers for that but I'll just leave one from the historian Josephus "At this time there appeared Jesus, a wise man. For he was a doer of startling deeds, a teacher of people who receive the truth with pleasure. And he gained a following among many Jews and among many of Greek origin." So right there you have a non-Christian not only affirming Jesus' existence but that he worked miracles.

[@cadenorris4009]

He never said that just being willing to die for something by necessity makes it true. People BELIEVE things that aren't true and are willing to die for them all of the time. But here's the thing. These people who spent three years of their lives WITH Jesus, WOULD know the truth. Why? Because they were there. They had first hand evidence, they WITNESSED life with Jesus. So there is an inherent difference between me, say, being willing to die for the flat earth society because I BELIEVE the earth is flat (Does not prove anything). Compare that with me going into space, and seeing the earth from above, and THEN coming back and being willing to die for the flat earth society. Doesn't it then hold MUCH more weight with my first hand experience? Put it this way. I am a disciple of this strange rabbi from galilee, who the religious leaders think is dangerous. I've lived in, less than ideal conditions, to say the least, wandering from town to town, living with these 12 other WEIRD people that I definitely didn't get along with. I watch this rabbi heal people, cast out demons, show absolute service and absolute unconditional love. He pisses off the religious elite, and they have him killed. I am now terrified, running for my life. After all, if they killed my master, wouldn't they ALSO try to kill me if I preach him? So I decide to just stay quiet and try to live out the rest of my peaceful life. Maybe this guy wasn't the son of God after all. I mean, how can God DIE? I try to forget all that I've experienced. But something incredibly strange happens. I see this man again. In radiance and glory, and the other 12 do too. AT THE SAME TIME. And we touch him, he is there all right. He tells us to go and live out the rest of our lives by preaching the good news, that there is a way back to God. Anyway, the twelve of us go proclaiming his name, performing miracles, and spreading exponentially. Uh oh, I'm getting persecuted. The religious elite and roman authorities believe I am now a threat to the order. They tell me to stand down or they will arrest and kill me. At this point, if I KNEW we just conspired to make our names great, and that none of what we were preaching is real, then wouldn't I then, to maintain right standing with God (who must not have approved of Jesus if he didnt get raised from the dead), or at the very least to protect the little bit of life that I have left, disengage and obey? It makes zero sense for any self-preserving organism to throw themselves willingly into a belief that they KNOW is false, and dangerous to themselves and their families. You might say they were deluded, but how do you explain the exponential growth of the church afterwards? How do you explain the stability of the religion as a whole?

Regarding Mark, the traditional view that he was a companion of Peter and wrote his Gospel based on Peter’s accounts is supported by early Church Fathers like Papias. However, this tradition originates from the early 2nd century, and there is no direct evidence that Mark personally met Jesus. Scholars generally agree that Mark’s Gospel reflects Peter’s teachings but do not consider Mark an eyewitness. While Paul's contributions to early Christian theology are significant, his writings primarily reflect theological interpretations rather than direct historical documentation of Jesus' life and teachings.

Hm. I have a couple questions that I would love to engage with you on. 1. How do we separate what we consider myth from the story of Jesus? We say that the story of Jesus is so unique that it has to be something other than a myth that humans can create, because myth is predictable. In response, I would raise the problem of other people/characters/beings/truths that appear in other cultures. For one: Buddha. Gautama, in my opinion, is as unique as Jesus is in every way, even if they are different. And you also then said that other gods that are similar to Jesus in reality are not like Jesus at all; does that mean that because they are not like Jesus, their prominence are less than Jesus? This seems to be too christian-centric for a topic that is vast in its scope. At the very least, if your proposition is that Jesus’ story is on a higher tier, a explanation is due. 2. How do we know that there is a distinction between what is man made and what is divine? God may not be able to act in this world in God’s true form, because it is possible that all of this is god. All of us are pieces of god broken up into a cosmic sand box and molded into different shapes. Because we are in dimension that may not be able to even hold something like God within it, we may interpret God’s actions through what IS in this material realm, because all of the material realm IS a manifestation of god. I would not say that all of the material is God because God is more than just the material. The material realm is more like a byproduct of god. Long story short, my second question is: How do we separate what is man made, and what is divine, when anything man made is only shaped and not created? The creation is God. In my opinion, nothing can be truly man made, only man shaped? EVEN THEN! We are not outside of creation. We are also creation. So nothing is MAN MADE, it is only ever Divine because it is God shaping God through God. Do not confuse this with a narcissistic notion of “I AM GOD”. That is not the case. The smoke emitted by a steam engine is not the steam engine; it is just a byproduct of the engine. The smoke would not have existed if not for the engine, it moves because of the functions of the engine, but it is not the engine. We may be collectively god in the 3rd dimension manifesting themselves, but none of us are individually God. Again that is the way I have grown to see things and would love to bounce these thoughts off of your own; or whoever reads this!

You brought this to us publicly. Either justify it or admit that you can't "prove" your claim.

Good , You acknowledge the possibility of a Creator and the historical existence of Jesus. You value good morals and common sense, living your life authentically. Now Consider the words of the prophet Isaiah, "Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow" (Isaiah 1:18, TLB). The invitation to reason with God is open to all, regardless of belief. You question the identity of the Creator. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can get to the Father except by means of me. If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is" (John 14:6-7, TLB). How does this claim challenge your understanding of truth and access to God? You believe one can have good morals without religious belief. Indeed, God's law is written on the hearts of all people, guiding them to good. Yet, Jesus offers more: "I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10, TLB). What if there is a fullness of life beyond mere morality, found in knowing and following Christ? You choose not to worry about the afterlife. Jesus spoke of a place He prepares: "There are many homes up there where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming" (John 14:2, TLB). What if this promise offers hope and assurance beyond this life? In love, I ask you to consider these questions deeply. Your journey is your own, but know that you are invited to explore the depths of God's love and truth. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16, TLB). Reflect and seek with an open heart, for "you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13, TLB). Peace be with you on your journey.

Why not just be happy now? Why wait for something that might be (and probably is) fake? People shouldn't have to refrain themselves from stuff like swearing, or enjoying more candy, or just letting yourself loose. They should just be able to do what they want to do. But that also brings me to my next point. If believing in God, or any other religion, makes you happy, then by all means do that. If devoting your life to some mystical being is your cup of tea, then I won't stop you. Because it's your life! And everyone has different ways of being happy. But don't come knocking in on the lives of others. Don't bully people, giving them a hard time. There really is no point of doing that, you can find other ways of being happy without making others unhappy. And also, you shouldn't push religion on anyone. Just let them believe in what they want to believe in, whether that aligns with your beliefs or not. That's just not right. There is more I could say, but quite honestly, I'm tired.

​​@@JeremiahAranezbecause it was an exclusive religion. The jews believed they were Gods chosen people, and gentiles were not. And so they didn't really bother proselytizing to others; they also dont and didn't believe in hell (defined as eternal judgement and punishment) so there was a much lesser pressure to preach and spread the religion. If i had to give a naturalistic explanation to why judaism didn't srpead it would be that. Judaism has a much weaker call to action than Christianity and is much more exclusive than it as well. A BIG part of Christianity is evangelism, and unlike judaism, anyone; jew or not; can become Gods people and have a personal relationship with Jesus. The "barrier to entry" is much lesser for Christianity as well. For the most part Christianity doesn't have any real "laws" aside from the "golden law" that jesus himself described. Now judaism consists of so many rituals and restrictions, even going as far as circumcision (which was widely believed to be required to be one with Gods people). So these are three reasons as to why i believe Christianity spread better than judaism, 1) inclusivity, 2) strong call to action, and 3) low (practically non existant) barrier/ cost of entry
