[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With his alleged birthday coming up, let's discuss the person that is being celebrated. Present your information and argument for Jesus, fact or fiction.[/quote]

Jesus would be disgusted by MAGA

Jesus was a socialist

The Gospels were written long after Jesus's death and are unreliable, contradictory, and heavily influenced by theological agendas rather than historical accuracy

Some theories suggest that [b]the Jesus story was created by combining elements from various pre-Christian pagan mystery cults[/b], such as Mithras and Osiris

Add in the well known story about the fabled founder of Rome, Romulus (especially in a Roman controlled province). Both the narratives of Jesus and Romulus feature a hero of divine parentage (Mars/God the Father), whose infancy is imperiled by a jealous ruler (Amulius/Herod) but who is saved and raised in humble circumstances. Both feature tales of prophesied death as part of a divine plan, after death their bodies disappear, and they are then seen after death. They both ascend to heaven. [/quote]

There are at least fourteen independent sources for the historicity of Jesus from multiple authors within a century of the crucifixion of Jesus[21] such as the letters of Paul (contemporary of Jesus who personally knew eyewitnesses since the mid 30s AD),[note 5][note 6][22] the gospels (as biographies on historical people similar Xenophon’s Memoirs of Socrates),[23] and non-Christian sources such as Josephus (Jewish historian and commander in Galilee)[24] and Tacitus (Roman historian and Senator).[25][26] Multiple independent sources affirm that Jesus actually had family.[22][27]
