"I regard Christianity as the most fatal and seductive lie that has ever yet existed—as the greatest and most impious lie... I decline to enter into any compromise or false position in reference to it—I urge people to declare open war with it."

The Jewish Rebel Carpenter
It should be noted that no such centuries-long defense would be needed if the existence of Jesus Christ as a historical figure were a well-attested fact, like the existence of Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. No one discussing Abraham Lincoln, for example, needs to clarify their position by expressing the belief that Lincoln existed.
Delving deeply into this large body of work, one uncovers evidence that the Jesus character is in fact based upon much older myths and heroes. One discovers that the gospel story is not, therefore, a historical representation of a Jewish rebel carpenter who had a physical incarnation in the Levant 2,000 years ago.

Your Faith Is Futile
Paul said that "if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile" (1 Cor 15:17)—underscoring the significance of the resurrection within Christian theology and serving as a reminder of the pivotal role this event plays in the foundation of Christianity. Unfortunately for Christians, the resurrection never happened.
There are no contemporaneous accounts of the event in non-Christian sources, nor is there any physical evidence—no remains, no artifacts, nothing. The (anonymous and inconsistent) Gospels—which are the primary sources of the resurrection story—were written several decades later and, just like Paul, never even met Jesus.
All we have are mere Chinese whispers attributed to Jesus' alleged disciples who—even if they had ever existed—would've had obvious theological motivations to propagate the story, which no discerning mind should even consider to be substantial evidence for such an extraordinary claim.

Fulfilling The Biblical Censure Of Pagan Gods
Throughout the Roman empire, during Theodosius’ reign [379–395], cultic sites were destroyed, and pagan statues were disfigured. It’s particularly interesting that statues were often not destroyed but mutilated. In a sense, they were mutilations meant to fulfill the biblical censure of pagan gods.
A particularly telling instance occurs in the writings of the great pagan scholar Libanius [c. 314–392], who addresses his complaint to Emperor Theodosius himself against passionate Christians engaged in mob acts of destruction of all things pagan: “I forbear to mention the numbers they have murdered in utter disregard of the name they share . . . In a state after a state, shrine after shrine has been wiped out by their insolence, violence, greed and deliberate lack of self-control.”

Evidence Trumps Hope
There is no person whose evidential status is actually comparable to Jesus, yet whom we are confident existed. The historicity of Apollonius of Tyana, for example, is actually sketchy. And yet we still have more evidence he existed than we have for Jesus.
Attempts to gainsay this fall into amateur mistakes no competent historian should be stumbling over, like counting dependent evidence as independent, counting non-evidence as evidence, and counting hypothetical sources as actual.
That it is possible the various Gospels got their different stories from tradents preserving oral tradition going back to eyewitnesses does not make it probable they did—we have abundant evidence they also just made stories up, whereas we have zero evidence they got any from sources. And that honestly should decide the matter of which is more likely. Evidence trumps hope.

The Crusaders Did Not Save Europe
The Crusades were far more devastating to Europe than to the Middle East. People seem to be under the impression that they played a significant role in the Arab-Byzantine Wars (7th-11th century), but those had already largely concluded when the First Crusade (1096-1099) was launched to "retake" the "Holy Land."
After gaining and losing territory repeatedly, the Crusaders shifted their focus in the 13th century and started to Christianize the Baltic Old Prussians (during which those who refused to be baptized were subjugated, killed, or exiled), sack Constantinople (after slaughtering its Roman Catholic inhabitants), massacre Cathars at Béziers (killing nearly every man, woman, and child in the town)—and the list goes on.
While the Crusaders were annihilating their fellow Europeans—destroying European cities and ancient works—the Mongols ended the Islamic Golden Age by sieging Baghdad in 1258.

The Gospels are not history; they are religious propaganda, contradictory, exaggerated, and mythical. The earliest Christian writings, the letters of Paul, are silent about the man Jesus: Paul, who never met Jesus, fails to mention a single deed or saying of Jesus (except for the ritualistic Last Supper formula), and sometimes contradicts what Jesus supposedly said. To Paul, Jesus was a heavenly disembodied Christ figure, not a man of flesh and blood.

The Author Of Confusion
In I Corinthians 14:33, Paul states that "God is not the author of confusion but of peace." Yet, no book has generated more confusion than the Bible.
This became especially evident after the invention of the printing press, when the Bible—previously a hand-copied manuscript available only to the rich—became increasingly accessible to the general public.
A divergence of interpretations emerged and Protestantism arose, which not long after led to the start of the Thirty Years' War when Catholic and Protestant states within the Holy Roman Empire clashed in the 17th century.
The Thirty Years' War remains one of the longest and most brutal conflicts in human history, with more than 8 million casualties resulting from military battles, as well as from famine and disease caused by the conflict.
Estimates suggest that 20% of all Europeans perished, with some areas experiencing a population decline of up to 60%.

"Was Jesus a Jew? Of course, Jesus was a Jew. He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. He regularly worshipped in Jewish communal worship, what we call synagogues. He preached from Jewish text, from the Bible. He celebrated the Jewish festivals. He went on pilgrimage to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem where he was under the authority of priests... He lived, was born, lived, died, taught as a Jew."

The Way Of The Heathen
According to Luke (2:8), Jesus was allegedly born while shepherds were "keeping watch over their flocks at night," which is much more likely to occur during spring than during winter.
However, we do know that December 25th was associated with the celebration of Sol Invictus, the Roman sun god—symbolizing winter's defeat and the sun's rebirth—before the date was adopted by Christianity in 336 CE.
On top of that, "the Lord" actually forbids Christmas trees, as stated in Jeremiah 10:2-5:
"Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen . . . For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold . . . They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good."

"Christian" Family Values
Many seem to be under the impression that European family values arose from Christianity—despite verses such as Matthew 10:35-38. However, this is easily disproven. For example, referring to the Germanic tribes, highly noted Roman historian Tacitus stated in Germania (c.a. 98 CE):
Of learning and of any secret intercourse by letters, they are all equally ignorant, men and women. Amongst a people so numerous, adultery is exceeding rare; a crime instantly punished. In truth, nobody turns vices into mirth there, nor is the practice of corrupting and of yielding to corruption, called the custom of the Age.
Better still do those communities, in which none but virgins marry, and where to a single marriage all their views and inclinations are at once confined. To restrain generation and the increase of children, is esteemed an abominable sin, as also to kill infants newly born. And more powerful with them are good manners, than with other people are good laws.

The Power Of Racism
Blair Cottrell makes a great point about how racism is the source of Jewish power. In a later post, he discussed the power of belief. I couldn't agree more, however, I would add that the source of their racism is their belief—making their ethnic faith the foundation of their power.
"They don't want us to be racist," which is exactly why they promote spiritual universalism to everyone but themselves through Christianity and Islam. As Rothschild biographer Marcus Eli Ravage stated:
"A patriotic Jew named Paul conceived the idea of humbling the Roman power by destroying the morale of its soldiery with the doctrines of love and non-resistance preached by the little sect of Jewish Christians."
"We have pulled down your idols, cast aside your racial inheritance, and substituted for them our God and our traditions. No conquest in history can even remotely compare with this clean sweep of our conquest over you."

Fulfilling A Divine Promise
On November 2, 1917, the British Government expressed its sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations in a letter from Arthur Balfour to Lionel Walter, 2nd Lord Rothschild (1868-1937). The Balfour agreement became the diplomatic foundation stone of the state of Israel.
Beginning in 1916, the British hoped that "the Jews" would help to finance the growing expenses of the First World War. More importantly, policy-makers in the Foreign Office believed that Jews could be prevailed upon to persuade the United States to join the War.
Many of Britain’s leaders, including Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and Balfour himself, felt for the Jews and their history. These men were deeply religious Christian Zionists. They had grown up on the Bible; the Holy Land was their spiritual home. They believed that modern Zionism would fulfil a divine promise, and re-settle the Jews in the land of their ancient fathers.
