Given where you go to school, it's hard to believe you don't realize the best known historical figure is Jesus of Nazareth. Not many people on the planet in the last thousand years and longer haven't heard of him. Julius Caesar, for whom July is named, and Augustus Caesar, for whom August is named, would also be up there, as would Mohammed and Confucius.
@IceCough As opposed to Moses, Abraham, Rameses, Isaac, Noah so forth. Of course as an atheist Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Noah are bullshit, but there's lots of figures that have been known for longer. Even if they are as real as the easter bunny.
@Improbable0possible Jesus' existence is confirmed outside the Bible; he's mentioned by historian Josephus. Whether or not one believes he's the "son of God," there's no doubt that he existed as a person, as opposed to the Old Testament figures you mention.
@IceCough Josephus wrote a gospel. Not a historian, not to mention the disputes over his relations with Horus. Type in Horus and Jesus similarities. They're identical. Trust me.
@Improbable0possible No, Josephus was a Jewish historian -- he did not write a gospel. He mentions Jesus directly twice, and makes several other references to James, a brother of Jesus. You can find his writings online. You can also find *opinions* that the Jesus story parallels the Horus myth, but they remain, of course, opinions.
@IceCough So do other historians, however these historians are not from around his time. They're from 10 to 20 years after his death at the very least. None of these people ever came in contact with Jesus so the source in itself is sceptical.
An opinion? An opinion that has strong evidence to support it.
@Improbable0possible No, Josephus never met Jesus in person; he was an historian, not a journalist. Doubtless the gospel writers skewed their stories to make them conform to various myths and Jewish prophecies -- they were trying to sell their story of him as the "Christ" or messiah. That doesn't negate the physical existence of Jesus; that someone is "James the brother of Jesus" certainly suggests that there were both a James and a Jesus.
@IceCough Fantastic is not then that no one met Jesus in person. No one who documented it anyway. It's entirely speculation because their is no documentation about his birth, death, life so forth. Everyone knows the Romans kept tons of records, the fact none has been found of Jesus who is so heavily important, seems bizarre to me.
@Improbable0possible No, everyone doesn't know that the Romans kept tons of records -- here is no documentation of the birth, death or life of anyone in Judea of that era. Frankly, few people were literate, and there was no civil service as there is today. There weren't birth or death certificates. Clearly many people met Jesus in person; they're documented in Acts and the various letters of the New Testament, as well as the gospels.
@IceCough Few people were literate. Sorry, but the romans were literate and kept records, financial, birth etc. The reasons where numerous, whether it be for military purpose or otherwise.
IceCough, it's useless telling me that people met Jesus in the New Testament, you may as well tell me that You met him. I'd find it more credible. The Bible is not evidence for anything in my book. Not to mention if you're going to state earlier that the Bible and gospels manipulate Jesus, why cont.
@IceCough If we accept as you stated that the gospels are skewed, then we must accept the potential for other books such as acts and Romans to be likewise. This leaves the argument unsound. Not to mention that when you state Josephus as the historian, he's also been tampered with by the church because of his writings on Jesus. So how can we discuss these sources as fact when they've been manipulated and abused. The argument no longer stands as a result of the sources questionableness.
@Improbable0possible There aren't Polaroids of him calming the waters -- it was 2,000 years ago. The Romans counted people and then collected taxes based on the count. They didn't keep individual records of people. Josephus wasn't a Christian, yet was aware of and recorded Jesus -- sorry, that's the best evidence that can be offered. I suppose you also don't believe in William Wallace or Robert the Bruce, as accounts of them have been amplified.
@IceCough Yes but through science I know it's impossible to walk on water, so forth. William Wallace and Robert Bruce exist, they have historical evidence through weapons, through records, through reports, through eye witness accounts through history, through us having his body, through us having the castles he resided in. No one can dispute Wallace and Bruce, many dispute Jesus so what a fucking stupid point to make.
@Improbable0possible The stupid fucking point was your claim that because the gospels aren't factual records, the reality of Jesus is somehow negated. They were never intended as factual records -- they were religious propaganda.
@IceCough They're not factual records. Especially since you admitted they've been skewed. Well yes, because the Gospels are the main reason people believe Jesus existed, if we take this out of the equation then they have little reason for that belief. Josephus and the Gospels are your premises for his existence. I think both of these are questionable, as are the details of his birth etc.
@Improbable0possible There's the rest of the New Testament -- the acts of the apostles and the various letters they wrote in addition to the independent verification by Josephus. Sorry if that's not enough for you.
@IceCough The New Testament is not a declaration of fact. The bible will never be a verification, nor can be one historian. The sources are poor and your argument lacks conviction.
@IceCough Of course it's dominated, it's been a christian world for this period of time. Jesus being the main figure, but if you go to India, history is more based on Hinduism, Sikhism, Budhissm, so forth. Not Christianity. Unless we're talking about the British empire then we need to revise that statement.
I agree Jesus and Hitler are def up there. I would also consider Walt Disney or Ronald McDonald. Both are very well known internationally and knowledge of them begins at a very young age. Tough question
You must be over your illness too brett. You have lost the hot sweaty look and the redness around the nose. So now you can start working on that car of yours, while we supervise you.
I agree with you-i also had pickt Hitler(do you know wath his real name was?-Adolf Sckickelgruber-he only namend himself Hitler when he vame to power)or perhaps Stalin...
Hey i agree with the comment under me micheal Jackson is the most well known person in history coz like everyone knows who he is.
please could i have a shoutout i realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy want one ive asked and asked and asked but i never did i even asked you if i could have a shoutout in your old set of vlogs but never did :(
