A book published by author and historian Jonas Gardell shows that the highly romanticized, handsome and intelligent Jesus was most likely an ugly, toothless and homeless beggar named Joshua.
He ranted about the position of the poor, sick and criminals compared to the wealthier jews for about two months before he was killed on the cross, not because he was very influential, but because he was fucking annoying and a criminal. He also compared heathens to dogs and cared only about jews.
uhhh pretty sure he was in roman records during every ten year census until his death? not too sure how it is fiction.. the only argument here is if he is the son of God or not
Ok, time for me to deepthroat the troll bait. The closest any records get to Jesus were the writings of Josephus. As Josephus never met the man or never even met anyone who met the man, what he wrote is about as credible as saying i know Jesus is real because my friend's cousin's grandma's hair dresser knew him.
Not that i'm religious or anything, (currently, in my years to decide about what to believe in to)
But if everyone here is going to talk out of their ass's about Jesus, or Joshua, or Joseph, or anyone, show credible sources, too show you're not talking out of your ass.
Well, I thought I stated one credible source, a historian and author Jonas Gardell and his new book, Om Jesus, that he spent years researching. Don't know when it will be translated.
What's with all this pent up anger, "talking out of your ass"? Do your own research. You're "in your years to decide what to believe"... Oh wow. Good luck with that.
Everyone (minus you, i'm researching into this guys book right now +k) talks out of their ass, from what they hear, not from what they know from a credible source.
It's not that i'm 'unwilling' to look anything up myself, but if someone is going to debate a point wether or not Jesus lived, at least give sources to which your side stands for; to be honest tho, i'm not expecting anyone too post sources. It's NSG!
