Debunking the Jesus Myth - Robert M. Price

A video clip I found on my old hard drive of Robert M price, explaining the blatant similarities of the Jesus myth with localized beliefs surrounding other messiahs, many of which existed prior to the Jesus Character himself.

LOL even Dawkins says Jesus existed as a person.

[godlessmessiah]

@ivlfounder

Yes but Dawkins position is less substantiated on this subject.

[ivlfounder]

@godlessmessiah

Meaning?

[godlessmessiah]

@ivlfounder

Theres more reason to believe this position over Dawkins.

@Satarack Half of the epistles weren't in fact written by paul but rather were written by an unknown corrupt person who claimed to be Paul hence those and more writings in the bible CANNOT be trusted as truth.

@MrBigInfidel

"who cares"?

Oh I don't know maybe the millions of Christians and Muslims who have said for ages he existed and the thousands of atheists who have been saying for decades he's an fabrication based on earlier myths?

[MrBigInfidel]

@ivlfounder Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Saying a man could have existed that was named Jesus, who cares? So he did, big deal. Say a man existed that was God as his own son that came to earth to sacrifice himself to himself to forgive a sin that never happened, where is the extraordinary evidence for that man? Sounds ridiculous to me and I see no reason to believe those claims over any other religious claim.

@jake44514

and?

[jake44514]

@ivlfounder Existing as a person and being the "son of God" are two entirely different things.

@ivlfounder No, Dawkins thinks perhaps that an historical figure may have been the prototype for the mythical figure of the gospels.

@keggerous

Dawkins is known for pretending his is an authority on subjects he knows little about.

I wonder what he learned that forced him to admit Jesus existed least as a person?

[keggerous]

@ivlfounder Dawkins is a smart guy but he is not an expert in History but im not sure this guy is either. i dont even know who this is hehe

[TwistedLemniscate]

@Surfxeo My point is valid whether or not this guy is a historian.
