@jimtrueblue99 If you think you've found a 'self-referential problem', then you must have stopped listening before you heard the next sentence, because I immediately explained why no one can honestly claim knowledge of 'absolute truth'.

@jamesrideout123 Eugenics was invented by a man named Galton he was a statistical genius a Christian and had the best of intentions but unfortunately he misunderstood Darwin which is why you should perhaps try and understand it yourself

Jesus was also likely born in Nazareth rather than Bethlehem, and most certainly not in a manger. There is absolutely no record of Jesus himself proclaiming to be the Son of God outside of the Bible. So while the stories Paul wrote about have their grounds in reality, he clearly fabricated much of his writing for a different reason.

The Romans were very good at keeping records. Jesus did exist and yes there IS mention of him outside the Bible; he was reputed to be a teacher later in life, and he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. However, the Biblical account is extremely dramatized. Pilate was sort of a captain who was sent to the region to locate the source of unrest and restore order. He found that the easiest way was to crucify Jesus and release a prisoner, so he did just that. He didn't really care.

and I doubt these were based on real events because of the belief factor. there is no record of jesus' existence outside the bible
either he existed or he didn't. if you have to believe he existed, then that, in and of itself, means there is no evidence. matthew and luke were the only ones to write about jesus' actual birth. matthew wrote about the roman soldiers and heroid in -4 (based on when heorid died), and luke wrote about augustus' census in the year 6

Acts 17:18, Acts, 9:20, and Timothy II 2:8 show a bit of the involvement of paul as a figurehead
and therein is a good point: why would a guy who never met jesus and whose vision happened when no one else was around, be the author of the majority of the new testament.
the actual gospels are widely considered to have been written by unknown people because of the third-person narratives and the complete lack of association to their biblical counterparts
-
There's little question that Paul had ulterior motives when he started writing. I would say it's mildly inaccurate to say Paul "invented" Christianity since everything he wrote was based on real events...but he certainly enhanced some aspects and was well-received by a certain disgruntled population.
The Gospels are largely a mystery even today...several of the supposed authors were illiterate and likely didn't live long enough to write them anyway.
-
and why do you think that is no one knew about him until paul?
many theories was that christianity was INVENTED by paul in order to destroy the roman empire via fear and guilt and take it over for the burning of the jewish temple in the year 70 - the same year the oldest records of mark, the earliest gospel - were made
-
i kinda doubt just how accurate neo-pagans are from actual paganism since most to all records were destroyed by christianity and then rewrote them in THEIR image
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Darwin was a proud Eugenicist.

@JamesRideout123 The promoters of religious "truth" have lied to you. Darwin publicly denounced and consistently criticized eugenics, racism, and slavery in every one of his books. Oh, and Hitler and Stalin both banned and burned Darwin's books.
