Yo Stalin is cool and all and imma let you finish, but jesus is 100% bullshit crammed down your throat by the establishment. There’s no historical evidence he even existed.
Most historians who study first-century Palestine agree that Jesus was a real person who existed. Whether everything written about him is true is another question.
I always had problems with that take because if he didnt exist then who made up jesus then? The romans had a perfectly working religion they didnt have to made up anything new, plus another fact is that romans didnt have perfect records on all the cruzifictions they did because it was a really common punishment.
Like organized christianity is 100% an org made to support the establishment but things cant just appeared from nowhere
There were definitely people in Palestine during that time doing some of the same itinerant preaching and living off the land. In the Bible there’s John the Baptist, for example. There’s also allusion to the dozens—if not hundreds—of other people doing exactly the same thing during this time in the gospels. The idea of Jesus came from these. But the four gospels weren’t even written by people who would have known Jesus. They were written about 90 years after that time frame and they all borrow from or flat out copy previous texts. This amalgam of a person is what was rolled into the Jesus character.
