Frank, seek psychological help. You obviously have some brainwashing going on in your life, being so gullible to fall for such bullshit. Children grow out of such beliefs by the time they are teenagers. Adults even push the claim that there is nothing to even suggest that Jesus is nothing more than a mythology tale.
What is the bullshit belief I have fallen for here?
That you believe that Jesus Christ is real.
Well, I don't really want to get into an argument about what is
real with someone who feeds his mind and imagination with B grade fantasy movies and books.
As I said before, the divinity or otherwise of Jesus is not the point. You are rearing up against the divine attributes. I am not arguing about those. I am simply saying that there was a man called Jesus, he lived in 1st century Judea, he was crucified by the Romans 'on advice' by the Jewish religious establishment.
If you want to reject his miracles, divinity, resurrection - go ahead, I am not arguing about any of that.
But I think it is blustering, ignorant stupidity to simply deny that he even existed, when there is so much written evidence about his existence, from sympathetic and unsympathetic sources.
The sympathetic sources, moreover, a sympathetic in their interpretations, NOT in their descriptions of the ordinary, mundane elements of the story. If you had ANY ear for myths, story, recount, reportage etc you would see/hear that there is nothing mythological about the accounts of Jesus. The language is that of reportage, nothing like mythology:
“Goddess, sing the rage of Pelias’ son Achilles,
Destructive, how it gave the Achaeans endless pain
And send many brave souls of heroes to Hades—
And it made them food for the dogs
And all the birds as Zeus plan was being fulfilled.
Start from when those two first diverged in strife,
The lord of men Atreus’ son and godly Achilles.”
(Iliad)
The stories about Jesus are just not a mythological stories at all, nothing like the stories of Achilles, above, or Hercules or any of the other myths and fables from east or west.
I don't know what you are studying at CQU in Rocky but you have no ear or mind to sift basic critical textual analysis or historical evidence.
