according to the psychedelic theory of religion, all religious stories (from all religions) are allegorical descriptions of the experience of ingesting psychedelics then experiencing mystical ego death and rebirth (resurrection, transcendence, mental world-model upgrade), which is the discovery...
This is the only logical conclusion of God's existence, free will is illogical, absurd and impossible. God *created* everything, therefore God created all my acts of will during my lifetime. I am writing this post *only* because God determined that i would write this post before time started...
these threads on the topic of Jesus' historicity never actually progress anywhere they are all just perpetual stalemate.
It all ultimately comes down to the fact that nobody *knows* with any degree of certainty whether or not Jesus existed as a single historical person, so all that we are...
This ^ is the core of your misunderstanding. Jesus is not a story, Jesus is a person from Nazareth, and the topic here is whether or not this person existed. This is nothing whatsoever to do with percentages, despite your repeated moronic insistence that it does.
'People' and 'stories' are two...
I corrected your typo, so i am replying to this ^, and not to what you said.
You need to realise that (as i already explained earlier, here we go again) this ^ is a logical category error. There is a distinction between PEOPLE and STORIES
STORIES can be partly true, partly myth, but PEOPLE...
Jesus is part myth and part real
= Jesus isnt fully myth, and isnt fully real
These two claims are precisely equivalent to each other. Saying that Jesus is "part real" as you clearly have here, is no different to saying that Jesus is "less than fully real". Then you make meaningless references...
i give up, you are too stupid to understand, carry on "debating" a subject you dont even understand, but not with me....
Jesus cannot be less than fully real, and no writer has ever made such an absurd, logically self-defeating claim. You have no idea what you are talking about, so you are...
Ok i will try again to explain this simple point about the meaning of mythicism, since you still havent understood it
You are obsessed with this idea of Jesus being "partially" real, and partially mythic, and i am trying to explain to you why that is a logical error, since the issue of...
you are the only person who brought the irrelevant idea of "percentages" and "evidence" into the conversation. It demonstrates your total lack of understanding of what "mythicism" means. The only times i have ever mentioned such a stupid idea is when i was directly replying to you. I never...
This ^ is false, i said nothing about percentages, furthermore i have corrected you on this point three times now, if you havent been able to realise that i said nothing about percentages after being reminded three times, then you clearly lack the brain capacity to engage in meaningful...
Nope, same simple claim ive been making the whole time, which you are obviously not capable of understanding
Nope, its a perfectly valid dichotomy (a person either existing or not existing)
All the authors i named are mythicists, which means that they all fall firmly on the "not existing"...
In the last 10 pages of this thread since i started following it, there has been ZERO productive discussion about the christ myth theory. Some of the posters here seem proud of the fact that they have no idea what the debate is even about in the first place. Proud to be clueless. It doesnt...
