In other words, yet another biased source. Find me an atheist who makes the same claim, and I'll start thinking you might have something. Quote:
The Bible is, by it's very nature, a biased source. Historians prefer to cross-check such sources with un-biased ones. But there aren't any for Jesus. None. Zilch. Zip. Nada. Nothing. |

Most of what Christianity is today is an amalgamation of those third person accounts of Jesus (the gospels) and Pauls epistles. Paul never saw Jesus - he had a "vision". To build a strong corroboration for the historicity of Jesus, you're going to have to provide some CONTEMPORARY writings about him. The vast majority of our knowledge of history comes from CONTEMPORARY writings about the historical figure in question. No such documentation exists about Jesus. |
