I CAN’T BELIEVE I didn’t think of this sooner.
A bunch of years ago, I saw a fun little docu called “The God that Wasn’t There.” It basically sets out to debunk that Jesus was a real person and it does a pretty good job. Memories of that movie always come back to me whenever I see people refer to Jesus as a person who really existed. I just saw someone quoting a witness to the recent execution of Troy Davis as saying ”Jesus was killed on the cross not because he was guilty, but because we all were.”
My first thought was: “He was a fictional character. He was only fictionally killed on the cross. There’s no proof he ever really lived, no birth certificate… HEEEEYYYY!!!”
It’s a weird day.
