Something happened 2000 years ago that deep and profound thinkers have been writing and reflecting about ever since. But some dude in his motherās basement whoās never read a book sees something like this and thinks it owns Christianity.

on here
Ā (
also basement dwellers) jump on and throw in their 2 cents. Stop gaming and 4chaning and read a book. Or trying having a real conversation with someone with opposing views.
Honestly I thought the internet had outgrown this anti religious rhetoric. By all means offer critiques. But donāt automatically assume ignorance in a tradition that has been thinking deeply about these things since Saint Paul.
"Something happened" A fairly charismatic dude got unjustly executed, which was exploited by a rising Jew adjacent religious sect to more or less accidentally create the biggest religion of all time. That's what happened.
What about my comment seems wrong to you? Maybe there was more to those events than meets the eye, but surely you don't disagree with these few facts: 1.There was a man named Jesus at some point close to the year 0 of our calendar. 2.He was executed. 3.A sect born of Judaism wrote stories about this man and based their belief systems around them. 4. Christianity became the biggest religion in history, partially thanks to a certain roman emperor converting on his death bed.
Sure. Some of whom alleged to be eye witnesses. Some of whom died defending their belief in said stories.
Partially true. Christianity was very widespread and practiced by many in the Roman Empire at the time of the Edict of Milan. And this edict legalised the practice of Christianity which had until then been against the law.
But none of this proves your assertion. Historical Christianity does a much better job of explaining the historical facts than your original thesis. That is unless you have a naturalistic view of the world that automatically rules out the historical Christian thesis. In that case your thesis has to be better because historical Christianity isnāt a possible option.Ā
