Crossan and his usual spiel. But he is so close. He only needs to take that last step, which, however, is a quantum leap: the historical person behind the Gospel figure "Jesus" was Julius Caesar. Otherwise nothing makes any real sense. And to say that the Romans only defined salvation and peace through victory is false. The aspect of love and forgiveness incl. love-thy-enemy was Caesarian, and the aspect of justice was especially Augustan. Etc. Carotta already has the answer.
@ImperatorAquila Not only that, but The Passion and The Crucifixion were transposed from the assasination, wake, reading of the will and funeral of Julius Caesar. Once one realises this, the inexplicable and sometimes downright ludicrous chain of events all make perfect sense.
@ImperatorAquila Yes, I agree, and if you read Joseph Atwill's theory, there is compelling evidence that this Caesar/Jesus connection continued. He shows various parallels between the stories of the gospels and the triumphs of Vespasian and his son Titus.
I will be who I am and progress to learn ways to accept, tolerate, and coexist from all walks of life. To ensure my goals, I have studied Ethics and will continue to keep up to date. Not everyone will accept me for who and what I am as I have met people like them since my childhood.
