We have all heard the stories of the New Testament, and of its main character, Jesus Christ. Most of us, regardless if we believe he was actually the son of a god, have thought of him as an actual, historical figure.
However, if one takes a close look at the evidence, you may find the basis for a historical Jesus is practically non-existent. There are no historical records at all of him, his works, his disciples, etc. You will find the earliest promoters of christianity had no concept of an earthly jesus at all.
This site is a companion forum to the monumental site
jesusneverexisted.com, which sports an incredible amount of historical information compiled by
Kenneth Humphreys. His site is an absolute must read for any thinking person. Both his
site and his
book* present what I consider an air-tight case for the mythical origins of Jesus, and other "heroic" figures of the bible as well. The mind reels at the implications - thousands of years of unneccessary death, suffering and persecution over interpretation of completely fictional characters.
After you have read and digested the bulk of
