Jesus: Hebrew Human or Mythical Messiah? Part 1

Part 1 of a who-knows-how-many-parts-part series where I simply share my knowledge about the Jesus Myth theory as espoused by the likes of Earl Doherty. Part 1 is simply an overview of the main claims of the theory and a taste of the first piece of evidence that will be covered in part2A and part2B.

I like what you're doing and can tell you're a stand up guy. Cheers. Just wanted to ask your thoughts on science; basically the probability that any god could be as real as the other or none. History; Since scripts there have been texts that are very similar, sometimes identical, to every jesus reference... these were written millennia before AD and from all corners of the globe. Even indigenous peoples had there own way to guide spirituality. None as dangerous as the monotheistic judxiaslam.

@JOOGAL1111 aint it the trufe? I mean, there is a certain power in knowing tons about the Bible and how Christianity really formed. When a JW knocks on your door, you get this adrenaline rush and go oh shit, they don't have a farking clue! and you run to the door and smile and let them in and get them talking for a while so they don't run off TOO quickly. hehe well, I've talked to only a few proselytizers but it's like Mike Tyson vs a 4 year old. how's that gonna turn out? hahah thanks!

GREAT introduction. So clear. Thank you for doing this! The literature on this subject isn't easily accessible.

@delphiote Thanks. You're the 1st person to compliment me on the intro. HAHAHHA it is a bit low on production values but sometimes you just have to start somewhere. I think this idea is going to be taught in universities one day.

Truth you are a great artist and musician as well as an expert on religion. I enjoyed watching lots of your vids.

@GodlessInfinity Mark is full of anti-semitism (Gentile hate for the Jesus-rejecting Jews) and this is why Mark has Jesus slamming the Jewish leadership so hard. A fellow Jew would NOT have done that (as we can see from Paul's writings).

Anyway, I'm done!

@GodlessInfinity Well, I'll quit now because I think you are completely wrong. So, rather than upset you by posting countless verses that preclude that theory, I'll just say I disagree. :) You'd be closer saying the gospels or at least Mark's was an allegory.  Basically, Mark's gospel is fiction using the Jesus of Paul and co. Whether Mark believed in Paul's Jesus and just made the fiction I cannot say. But I lean toward it. The gentiles accepted it more readily and Mark is...
