Did Jesus Exist?
'Cause if he didn't, the Catholic Church may be guilty of impersonation and conning people by exploiting a popular belief. So the Italian courts are considering this important question as we speak... Frankly, we're not sure what to say about this.
Your "analysis" is nothing but drivel that reveals your insecurity that Jesus existed at all while totally missing the legal question at hand, namely that the Church based its teachings about the purported historical Jesus on one John of Gamala.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what we think of creationism from the rest of our posts on the subject.
Human secularism?
ReplyDeleteI DO wish I had time to read Harold Bloom's Names Divine. Bloom has said before that most Americans who believe they worship God actually worship the protagonist of either a slim volume called the Gospel of Mark or the J Writer's contributions to the Pentateuch. He also dismisses any search for the historical Jesus. But then he says Hamlet is more real than any of us. So the book is supposedly the exposition of these characters from their texts, which means that starting with the general premise that they are fictional characters in works of genius, he can show that they are more real than any of us.
IF he doesn't piss you off before you finish the book, which is very likely.
