Theodor Herzl, the founder of the World Zionist Organization, on the gullibility of "the pious Christians of England" only a few decades before World War I broke out, which resulted in the Balfour Declaration—a public statement issued by the British government in 1917 announcing support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine—addressed to Lord Rothschild, whose family name appears in Herzl's diaries over 400 times.

Moses Never Existed

There is no evidence for the existence of Moses. Although he is portrayed as an influential member of the Egyptian royal household, he is not mentioned in any Egyptian record. Nor is there any evidence to support the idea that the Jews were ever held captive in Egypt or that they made an exodus from the country under Moses' command.

The Egyptians chronicled their history in great detail but make no mention of any captive Jews. Amongst the hundreds of thousands of Egyptian monumental inscriptions, tomb inscriptions and papyri, there is complete silence about the '600,000 men on foot, besides women and children' who The Book of Exodus tells us escaped from Pharaoh's armies.

Fanatical Worshipers

A greater gaffe in defense of Jesus' historicity is to make claims that are conspicuously opposite the truth of the matter, as when E.P. Sanders boasts that ‘the sources for Jesus are better than those that deal with Alexander [the Great]’. A more suicidal remark for his case could hardly be imagined. Unlike Jesus, we have over half a dozen relatively objective historians discussing the history of Alexander the Great (most notably Diodorus, Dionysius, Rufus, Trogus, Plutarch and more).

These are not romances or propagandists, least of all fanatical worshipers, or anyone concerned about dogma, but disinterested historical writers employing some of the recognized skills of critical analysis of their day on a wide body of sources. Which doesn’t mean we trust everything they say, but we still cannot name even one such person for Jesus, and 'none' is not 'more' than half a dozen.

"The present study demonstrates that Christianity in its first three centuries was almost uniformly hostile or dismissive of the value of studying nature, while over the same period there was a significant contingent of influential pagans [such as Claudius Ptolemy] who embraced and expressed exactly the opposite attitude. Though there were also a variety of negative attitudes among the pagans at all levels of society, the early Christians shared nothing like the positive attitudes found among their pagan peers."

The Very Source Of Civilization

We had been taught [by Christians] to see [Paganism] as a superstitious culture which indulged in idol worship and bloody sacrifice, and dry philosophers wearing togas stumbling blindly towards what we today call 'science'. All in all, Paganism seemed primitive and fundamentally alien. After many years of study, however, our understanding has been transformed.

Pagan spirituality was actually the sophisticated product of a highly developed culture. The state religions, such as the Greek worship of the Olympian gods, were little more than outer pomp and ceremony. The real spirituality of the people expressed itself through the vibrant and mystical 'Mystery religions'. At first underground and heretical movements, these Mysteries spread and flourished throughout the ancient Mediterranean, inspiring the greatest minds of the Pagan world, who regarded them as the very source of civilization.

Gallio's Silence

Gallio (died 65 C.E.) Seneca’s silence is compounded by the fact that his older brother was Junius Annaeus Gallio, who actually appears in the Bible. According to the author of the book of Acts (18:12-17), Gallio was the magistrate who heard Paul's case and threw it out of court. If this is true, it’s curious that Gallio never seems to have told his brother about this amazing Jesus character that everyone was so excited about, since Seneca was very interested in just this sort of thing.

But Seneca shows no sign of ever having heard of Christians or Jesus at all. It’s also strange that even in Acts, Gallio has never heard of Jesus. This makes no sense at all if Jesus was a famous miracle worker recently executed who had returned from the dead and remained in Jerusalem for forty days, as Acts also says.

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it."

"The pre-Christian Jewish book of Daniel was a key messianic text, laying out what would happen and when [9:25-27], partly inspiring much of the very messianic fervor of the age, which by the most obvious interpretation predicted the messiah’s arrival in the early first century, even (by some calculations) the very year of 30 CE. This kind of messianic math was very possibly the cause of the whole explosion of messianic claims and expectations in that very century."

"The Bible is an entirely Jewish document. Front to back, cover to cover, A to Z, Old Testament and New—the Bible is an entirely Jewish document. The morality, the theology, the social attitudes, the worldview… all thoroughly Jewish. The Old Testament obviously so; it was written by Jews, about Jews, and for Jews. The same holds with the New Testament, although with a slight twist: it was written by Jews, about Jews, but for non-Jews."

The Abrahamic World Order

Prophecy is part of the biblical mindset. Ben-Gurion predicted that: "All armies will be abolished, and there will be no more wars. In Jerusalem, the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a Shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of Mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated continents, as prophesied by Isaiah."

Christians find hope in the prophecy that, one day, "nations will not lift sword against nation, no longer will they learn how to make war" (Isaiah 2:4). But more important to Zionists are the previous verses, when "all the nations" will pay tribute "to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the god of Jacob," when "the Law will issue from Zion and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem," so that Yahweh will "judge between the nations and arbitrate between many peoples."

The Abrahamic Dialectic

Jews and their Trotskyite neo-conservative Christian allies in the United States organized and perpetrated the attacks of 9/11 to serve as an illegitimate pretext for the Middle Eastern wars between Christians and Muslims.

One of many examples throughout history proving that both Christianity and Islam were created by Jews as opposing forces to serve Jewish interests.

Yahweh The Devil

Revelation chapter 13 tells a harrowing story of how people in the "last days" will be put to death if they refuse to receive the dreadful "mark of the beast" in either their right hand or in their forehead. Christians are convinced that only "the devil" would inspire an evil law like this, but the truth is, Yahweh did this same exact thing in the Old Testament. [Ezekiel 9:5-7]

Show no mercy? Have no pity? Kill them all? Old and young? Girls and women and little children? Fill the courtyards with the bodies of those you kill? Does it even need to be stated that these are not the words of a loving god? Thus, does it look to you like there is any difference between receiving the mark of the beast or the mark of Yahweh? Does Yahweh seem any more loving or compassionate to you than "the beast"?

"One of the most unfortunate aspects of the historicizing of this 'oldest story ever sold' was that one particular ethnic group, and that one only, became esteemed above all others for being 'God's chosen people,' the 'priestly nation' and the spiritual masters of mankind. Another aspect has been the vilification of these same people as 'Christkillers' and foaming-at-the-mouth murderers of the Almighty Lord God himself. Thus, in believing the gospel tale, Christians have been forced into a schizophrenic love-hate relationship with the Jews, who are to be perceived as 'God's chosen' and 'Christkillers' at the same time."

"Christianity was not 'national,' it was not based on race—it appealed to all the varieties of men disinherited by life. Everything that is well-constituted, proud, gallant and, above all, beautiful gives offence to its ears and eyes. Again I remind you of Paul's priceless saying: 'And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, the foolish things of the world, the base things of the world, and things which are despised': this was the formula; in hoc signo the decadence triumphed."

Historical Witnesses

There were many first century writers, philosophers, historians, and other commentators who had good reason to notice Jesus, and despite apologists’ fervent denials, a wealth of their writings still exists today. But these perfectly respectable sources are never on Christian lists of historical witnesses.

They include important figures like Epictetus, Pomponius Mela, Martial, Juvenal, Seneca the Younger, Gallio, Seneca the Elder, Pliny the Elder, Plutarch, Justus of Tiberias, Philo of Alexandria, Nicolaus of Damascus and more. And these are just the contemporaries; there are still later commentators who we would expect to have mentioned Christ, but did not.

Christian Appropriation

In the most obvious example of [Christian] appropriation, celebrations of the Winter Solstice were overwritten with celebrations of Christ's birth. Elves of the natural world and the female land-goddesses known as Landdísir were transformed into saints, and the protective family spirits called Hamingja or Fylgja became guardian angels.

Balder’s death and eventual resurrection were reflected in the sacrifice of Christ on Good Friday and his return to life on Easter Sunday. The Easter holiday itself is named for the Germanic goddess Eostra. As early as the ninth century, there are written records that the continental Germans knew April as Ôstarmânoth, named for Ostarâ, the German version of the fertility goddess.

The 'True Birth' Of 'Jesus Christ'

Rather than the advent and death of a "historical" Christ, the single most important events in the history of Christianity were the "conversion" of the Pagan Emperor Constantine and the convening of the raucous Council of Nicea in 325, which in fact marked the true birth of Jesus Christ.

It is maintained that during the Nicene Council the names Jesus and Christ were put together for the first time in the phrase "Jesus Christ" or "Christ Jesus," uniting two of the major factions, with Jesus representing the Hesus of the Druids, Joshua of the Israelites, Horus of the Egyptians, and Christ representing the Krishna of India, the Anointed of the Jews, among others.

It is thus alleged that the phrase "Jesus Christ," which had never been a name, does not appear in Greek or Latin authors prior to the first Council of Nicea.

"Josephus records the rise and popularity of several false messiahs in the same general period as Christianity was getting started. He does not explicitly call them messiahs—he probably wanted to avoid reminding his Gentile audience that this was the product of Jewish ideology, and instead claimed it was the product of fringe criminals and ruffians. Josephus recounts at least four messianic figures of the early first century, and documents how enormously popular they were, compelling the Romans to mass military action to suppress them."

"In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is depicted as having been brought up in a city called 'Nazareth,' a purported biographical detail upon which much speculation has been hung over the centuries as to a 'historical' Jewish messiah figure in the gospel story, buried somewhere underneath layers of pious elaboration. Despite all of this speculation, there exists no hard scientific evidence that the polis or 'city' of Nazareth as depicted in the New Testament even existed at the time when Christ was supposedly being raised there."
