This is a Golden Moment (TM) that cropped up in a conversation I was participating in online. Where on earth do they get this stuff from? Does anyone know where this very very disturbing Bible-Myth originates from?

If ignorance is truly bliss, that poster must be in seventh heaven.

Well they have documents signed by Hitler . . . and photographs . . . even movies.

Any autographs or photographs or movies of Junior? No, not The Greatest Story Ever Told!

It started when Josh McDowell and other apologists claimed that there was more evidence for the existence of Jesus than for Julius Caesar.

This morphed into a claim that there is more evidence for Jesus' resurrection than for Caesar crossing the Rubicon. This claim was demolished by Richard Carrier here.

Now you see the evolution of tall tales at work, and instead of the mere existence of Jesus or even the Resurrection, we have "the truth of the Bible" being compared not to some remote event roughly contemporaneous with the New Testament, but to a recent historical character.

So now you may understand how the tall tales in the gospels evolved.

On a serious note, Toto is correct for I have heard the "more evidence for Junior than [Insert Figure Here.--Ed.]" become progressively more modern . . . though this is the first I have heard it applied to Hitler. . . .

I doubt it's possible to say such a thing and actually honestly believe it.

I think you meant "...ever Sold." Yes?

Must be because Jesus is talking to every christian and Hitler doesn't talk to anybody. Don't forget that if Jesus talks to you, that's supposed to be "proof" that Jesus was real, but if Hitler talks to you, you are considered crazy. :banghead:

Doctor X

So . . . if Hitler claimed Junior talked to him?
