Jesus was probably just a Jewish revolutionary who wanted to combine Hellenistic Judaism with the mainstream Jewish tradition, during the period of Roman occupation

oof

dat phat booty

It'd be awfully odd of Alexander, a conquering warlord, to stop and sit around while some big stupid temple was built for a religion he didn't really worship (since he was polytheistic being... Greek/Macedonian).

Jesus didn't exist

caesar is fake news

@Deleted User Obviously the tales are based off someone

There was however a guy very similar to him

Alexander the great didn't exist

Read some Josephus

I have my doubts that a Macedonian that considered himself to be Greek (and considered himself the son of Zeus) was Zoroastrian.

Josephus and Tacitus are not reliable

A real and physical Jesus existed.

Oh okay, it's all a conspiracy then. A 2000 year old conspiracy. WRAP IT UP GUYS

That's not even up for debate with modern scientists.

There is a theory that Josephus helped create Christianity through the direction of the Caesars

Wow an even greater conspiracy

WOW

The Flavian's

so enlightened

not

There was so much political shit going on in Judea at the time, I'd be surprised if there WASN'T a Jesus figure or two at the time.

Flavius Josephus

I bet the real Jesus was a scapegoat, and that the Romans just learned the Hebrew language, their culture and religion, their legal system, and their parables and idioms, and then created a really cool fiction that they thought people would just believe, as long as they put some guy on wooden poles and then poked him with a pokeystick.

The pope still carries the title of Caesar, pontifex maximus

@MaikuPens That lends more credence to the philosophical basis of Christianity than the Canon does lol

hooty is a conspiracy theorist

And the office of inquisition was never closed

It's not like Muslims are still killing Europeans or anything.

Long history of anti-Semitism in Catholicism

Yep

Ding dong you're all wrong

The current pope is a communist

No, he's a reformist

He's not a good pope but he's not a commie

A commie reformist?

Jesuits teach liberation theology which was created by the KGB

Now we're down a rabbithole

He seems to really love Islam. Are we sure he's not actually an undercover Muslim?
