He's not wrong. If you are a Christian, you believe the Bible to be the word of God, the God of Israel to be the highest authority, and are therefore mandated to obey his word.
Nor did Jesus "come to abolish [Jewish] Law or the [Old Testament] Prophets," but "to fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17). That includes Genesis 15:18, where "the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, 'To your descendants [the Jews] I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.'"
And "anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:19)

"[Schopenhauer] interpreted art, heroism, genius, beauty, great sympathy, knowledge, the will to truth, and tragedy, one after the other, as the result of the denial, or of the need of the denial, of the "will"—the greatest forgery, Christianity always excepted, which history has to show. Examined more carefully, he is in this respect simply the heir of the Christian interpretation; except that he knew how to approve in a Christian fashion (i.e., nihilistically) even of the great facts of human culture, which Christianity completely repudiates."

No Objective Corroboration Of Any Kind
Those stories in the Gospels are no more true than any other wild claim recorded in history for which we have no eyewitness source and no objective corroboration of any kind.
Dead people walking about, gaping wounds and all (John 20:25-27, 20:20), morphing into other people (Luke 24:14-16; John 20:14-15, John 21:4-7), becoming blinding balls of light (Acts 9:3-5, Acts 22:6-9, Acts 26:13), announced by celestial monsters (Matthew 28:2-8; Luke 24:4-8; John 20:11-13; Acts 1:10-11, cf. Mark 16:5-8), teleporting (Luke 24:31, 24:36-37; John 20:19, 20:26), flying (Acts 1:9-11).
We recognize those kinds of stories. They never turn out to be true. It’s fantasy. And if it were any other religion, Christians would admit that.

Nick Fuentes showing the true Noahidic face of Christian Nationalism: Those who "worship false Gods" (i.e., any God besides the God of Israel) "need to be given the death penalty," for "this is Christ's [the king of the Jews] country"—though, the Founding Fathers would disagree [1][2]. Apparently, this is "far more concerning" than "non-white people or mass migration" and "they must [therefore] be absolutely annihilated."
As Nietzsche stated:
"Christianity was not 'national,' it was not based on race—it appealed to all the varieties of men disinherited by life [3] . . . Sprung from Jewish roots and comprehensible only as a growth on this soil, [it] represents the counter-movement to any morality of breeding, of race, privilege; it is the anti-Aryan religion par excellence [4] . . . I regard [it] as the most fatal and seductive lie that has ever yet existed . . . I decline to enter into any compromise or false position in reference to it—I urge people to declare open war with it." [5]

Historians have no evidence of a historic Jesus dating from the early first century, even though many contemporary writers documented the era in great detail. Philo of Alexandria, for example, wrote in depth about early first-century Palestine, naming other self-proclaimed messiahs, yet never once mentioning a man named Jesus. Many other contemporary writers covered that era, yet there is not a single mention of any existence, deeds, or words of a man named Jesus.

"I cheerfully give testimony to this as a Jew, and when I give such testimony in behalf of Christianity, I believe I voice the sentiment of every intelligent, fair-minded Jew . . . Without Jesus and without Paul, the God of Israel would still have been the God of a handful, the God of a petty, obscure, and insignificant tribe . . . It was Paul's genius which conceived the idea of going forth to convert the Gentile and to bring them nearer to the God of Israel . . . Without Christianity, the spirit of Judaism would have wielded no universal influence."

"The idea of charity, welfare, the common good, sharing wealth, helping the poor was heavily ingrained throughout all ancient societies before Christianity. The Christians added nothing new. All they did was boast of being better at it. Which may have been as dubious a claim then as it is now. The data show poverty only increased under the Christians. For almost a thousand years. It hasn’t improved much since."

Smuggling In The Christian Faith
According to one of the best-known Viking sagas, Haakon the Good, the 10th Century King of Norway, deliberately used the Yule celebrations to smuggle in the Christian faith. Having been raised as a Christian in England, Haakon practiced his religion in secret because 'the land was altogether heathen and much idolatry prevailed.'
However, he 'established in the laws that the Yule celebration was to take place at the same time as is the custom with the Christians.' In other words, turning it from a solstice festival into a celebration of Jesus. The saga goes on to to say that; 'Before that, Yule was celebrated on midwinter night,' and that the king 'coaxed those who were dearest to him into becoming Christians.'

"The Jews should celebrate Christmas as a Torah victory over paganism. Because it is forbidden for the Jews to convert to Judaism those who genetically are outside the Jewish tribe, the only way to make the non-Jews to follow the Torah was the creation of another Torah-guided religion. And Rabbi Joshua, who became Jesus Christ in the minds of that time pagans, had done it, and we the Jews have to be thankful for his efforts to fulfill the Jewish mission of the Chosen."

It was a public holiday celebrated around December 25th in the family home. A time for feasting, goodwill, generosity to the poor, the exchange of gifts and the decoration of trees. But it wasn’t Christmas. This was Saturnalia, the pagan Roman winter solstice festival.
Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84 - c. 54 BC) described Saturnalia as ‘the best of times’: dress codes were relaxed, small gifts such as dolls, candles and caged birds were exchanged. The wealthy were expected to pay the month’s rent for those who couldn’t afford it, masters and slaves to swap clothes. Family households threw dice to determine who would become the temporary Saturnalian monarch.
From as early as 217 BC there were public Saturnalia banquets. The Roman state cancelled executions and refrained from declaring war during the festival. The earliest known reference to it commemorating the birth of Christ on December 25th is in the Roman Philocalian calendar of AD 354.

The Mists Of Prehistory
To be human is to enter into a compact with history. We do not come into this world untrammelled by its baggage, but as the next link in the great chain that stretches back all the way into the mists of prehistory. Europeans have always been acutely aware of this fact. As Caesar aped Alexander, so did Napoleon ape Caesar.
But not only the great men of history come down to us. The Romans honored their immediate ancestors, as did all venerable Europeans. The dead have influence that echoes far beyond their own lives and can aid us now in the present.
The historian who devotes himself to the study of his own people in our contemporary age is the closest to the priests and shamans of old, for by learning who we are, we strengthen the roots of our own resolve in the present. Christianity collapsed under its universalist pretensions, and now we must labor for a strand of religion particular to us.

How the prisoner's dilemma (game theory) proves tit-for-tat (an eye for an eye) to be superior to the Christian "Golden Rule," which is stated in Matthew 7:12: "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you."
Interestingly enough, the Torah (Exodus 21:23-25) does advocate for retributive justice (and so did pre-Christian Rome). However, the Early Jewish Christians thought it only appropriate to "preach to the Gentiles" (Ephesians 3:8) something else entirely:
"You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too." (Matthew 5:38-40)

Around 112 CE, Pliny the Younger, the Roman Empire's foremost legal authority, conveyed in a letter to Emperor Trajan that he had never attended any trials of Christians and noted that many individuals who previously identified as Christians in his province had long abandoned the faith.
This—yet again—disproves the common misconception of Christianity's rapid organic spread across the Empire. Instead, it shows that even after nearly eighty years of evangelizing across three continents, the recruitment efforts were so ineffective that the presence of Christians was still nearly nonexistent.

We should remember that we are but Gentiles, while the Jews are of the lineage of Christ. We are aliens and in-laws; they are blood relatives, cousins, and brothers of our Lord. Therefore, if one is to boast of flesh and blood, the Jews are actually nearer to Christ than we are, as St. Paul says in Romans 9:5.
God has also demonstrated this by his acts, for to no nation among the Gentiles has he granted so high an honor as he has to the Jews. And although the gospel has been proclaimed to all the world, yet He committed the Holy Scriptures, that is, the law and the prophets, to no nation except the Jews.

Paul says Jesus appeared to him not as a "man," not in "flesh and blood," but "through a revelation" (Galatians 1:11-12), which Paul describes as God revealing Jesus "inside me" (Galatians 1:16). He never says anyone saw Jesus in any other way. So we cannot assume he or anyone thought he had.
All we have are myths and legends a lifetime later, from no known or credible source. Paul had revelations like this all the time, complete with schizophrenic conversations with Jesus inside his mind (see 2 Corinthians 12:1-9).

Before the rise of Christianity, Jews were the only worshippers of the God of Israel. But Christians also worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; creator of heaven and earth. While Christian worship is not a viable religious choice for Jews, as Jewish theologians we rejoice that, through Christianity, hundreds of millions of people have entered into relationship with the God of Israel.

"I was glad to find in your book a formal contradiction, at length, of the Judiciary usurpation of legislative powers; for such the judges have usurped in their repeated decisions that Christianity is a part of the Common law. the proof of the contrary which you have adduced is incontrovertible, to wit, that the Common law existed, while the Anglo-Saxons were yet Pagans, at a time when they had never yet heard the name of Christ pronounced, or knew that such a character had ever existed."

The Last English King To Die A Pagan
In 661, the Jutes on the Isle of Wight underwent forced baptism during King Wulfhere of Mercia's invasion. However, after Wulfhere returned to Mercia, the Islanders swiftly deconverted until 686, when Cædwalla, the Christian King of Wessex, invaded and seized control of the island.
Their King Arwald, the last English king to die a Pagan, was killed in battle, and his successors were baptized before their execution. The majority of the inhabitants were annihilated and replaced by Christian West Saxons. Those who remained were coerced into accepting baptism and adopting the West Saxon dialect, and the Isle of Wight ultimately became part of the Kingdom of Wessex.

A Jewish Dying-And-Rising God
Long before and during the dawn of Christianity, there were many dying-and-rising savior gods. And yes, they were gods—some even half-god, half-human, being of divine or magical parentage, just like Jesus (John 1:1-18; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-35; Philippians 2:6-8 & Romans 8:3).
The only plausible reason for why some Jews ever came up with a Jewish dying-and-rising god in precisely that region and era, is that everyone else had; it was so popular and influential, so fashionable and effective, it was inevitable the idea would seep into some Jewish consciousness, and erupt onto the scene of "inspired" revolutionizing of a perceived-to-be-corrupted faith.
They Judaized it, of course. Jesus is as different from Osiris as Osiris is from Dionysus or Inanna or Romulus or Zalmoxis. The differences are the Jewish tweaks. Resurrected savior gods were a pagan idea. All Christianity did, was invent a Jewish one.
