anti christian speculation, lewd jesus Personally I don't think Jesus mythicism is very plausible, having looked at the evidence, there are multiple references to christians in the first century by reliable contemporary historians like Josefus and Tacitus, it's quite probably Paul Existed, who was a later convert to christianity, who claims to have met Peter. Josefus records the martyrdom of Jesus' biological brother James the Just, who ran the first Christian church in Jerusalem. While obviously the gospels are not reliable source of history, they are artifacts of a religious movement that most likely contain some truth about the origins of the religion, at the very least the names and core doctrine of it's founders.

So let's assume for argument the Gospels are basically accurate, and these are stories passed down over oral tradition and at least the core substance of the history and content of Jesus' Ministry were passed down, dude was obviously a cult leader, the texts describes the working of a fairly standard cult.

there are many hints in the Synoptic gospels + Thomas that Jesus was fucking his disciples. Getting shit faced drunk on wine and possibly other drugs seems to have been a central part of their worship. numerous references to secret teachings and initiation rituals for only his most beloved disciplines which are not recorded in the text, references to nudity and drunkenness is numerous of his sayings "be like little children and get naked... drink from my mouth" the whole "bridgegroom" thing, there's that very erotic scene of mary magdeline washing jesus feet with her hair as all the other disciplines watched, which made Judas uncomfortable, thus proving he's a snake... maybe Judas saw that Jesus was a fraud engaging in scandalous sexual behavior.

What's so interesting is Christianity is obviously a scam to anyone hearing it for first time. Okay this god-man, they just killed him? Oh he was resurrected? So he's alive now? No, he went to heaven, even tho he was alive? So the resurrected Jesus didn't show himself to the people of Jerusalem who killed him? He didn't appear to anyone else besides except his disciples? and we just take their word for it? Do we have his body at least? Oh his body flew up to heaven did it? Isn't it more likely, if this story has any truth, that Jesus was simply mistakenly pronounced dead and later woke up in his tomb, claimed to be resurrected, and then later died of his wounds? The central
proof of Christianity --> the death and resurrection --> disproves itself. This irrationality requires Faith: As won church father said "I believe because it is absurd"

All of the miracles like the Many Fishes or Water into Wine or Walk on Water, these are all parlor tricks any magician could replicate, even the Lazarez story could easily have staged, the deceptive techniques of faith healings are well known in modern times, and in the Gospels Jesus is often described working a crowd.
