Chistianity is the most powerful religion in the world with billions of followers, so we should know about the origins of the same.

There are way too many similarities between the story of Julius and Jesus. Could it be that Jesus is actually a deification of him, with the whole thing being his or Constantine's psyop?

I've been looking into the beginnings of Christianity more; and correct me if I'm wrong. But it has become clear to me that Christ, in his affectionate appearance. has ever been the chief weapon and instrument against paganism; one of the farthest reaching roots into the ancient world. Well they call it paganism now; but that's really a bad word for it. It is mocked as primitive, blasphemous and ungodly. But it isn't; it is sacred, it reveres nature and interprets the mysteries of creation in instructive ways.

That's the other thing that makes Carotta's book so powerful. When you look for the hard evidence of Jesus as an actual person..? There's absolutely nothing.

I don't mean 'not much' or the evidence is a bit weak, but NOTHING. Sure there are some obvious forgeries but no, he just doesn't appear in any of the places he absolutely should have done. When you have that much absence of evidence it becomes evidence of absence - because you simply cannot say some guy was famous for this and that, did so and so magic for some crowd, raised an army of believers and so on, without anybody mentioning it until 50 years later?

Penguins are in favor of penguins and biblical scholars are in favor of Jesus existing, while normal historians are in favor of keeping their jobs. But where's the damn evidence?

It was while looking into that I came across Carottas work. It's worth the read.

check https://ifers.123.st/t213-jesus-christ-never-existed .. directly addresses this.

but they have info about where it DID come from, some guy was saying those things, it was talked about, we have records of, it was absolutely (probably) stolen from this guy.

i say we pay attention to abraham-hicks -- talks about power of attraction -- what you think/how you are/what you are .. is what you attract to yourself... you are a magnet .. the power to change the world is in us, but we must change ourselves without regard for outside proof.. we be the proof.. we demonstrate .. we create ..

i think our time is better spent creating than trying to resurrect dead shit, now we know... there is nothing we need to know, all is here and now. peace bro

i'm using freeBSD, you should too .. lol

I read that book some years back. Seems pretty convincing.

More to the point, I couldn't find a really solid rebuttal, just lots of hand-waving and bluster while nit-picking on a handful of very minor points. The book as a whole stood firm.

Dunno if anything has changed since then. As I recall nobody could really argue with his translations, and if those are correct then it's hard to argue with his conclusions.
