I’m Jewish and have been told very angrily that I killed Jesus more than once. It’s fun.

Tbh, Jesus probably didnt exist anyways.

They started writing about him almost 100 years after his supposed death, and AFAIK theres zero proof outside the bible that he existed.

The earliest set of Pauline epistles have a consensus dating around 50, 20 years after the nominal death of Jesus.

The gospel of Mark has consensus dating to 70, 40 years after the nominal death of Jesus.

Multiple Jewish and Roman historians wrote about the existence of Jesus, who weren’t all getting their information from the Bible. There is a long and well-sourced Wikipedia article on this.

This is patently false and easily disprovable with a cursory google. Please do not spread misinformation.

Prove it instead of casting doubt.

You’re the wrong party here, your search will prove it.

Historical Jesus:

Virtually all scholars of antiquity accept that Jesus was a historical figure, and the idea that Jesus was a mythical figure has been consistently rejected by the scholarly consensus as a fringe theory.

Scholars differ about the beliefs and teachings of Jesus as well as the accuracy of the biblical accounts, with only two events being supported by nearly universal scholarly consensus: Jesus was baptized and Jesus was crucified

…and Pontius Pilot was one historical figure we can prove exists. In letters from Rome telling him to stop genosiding so many Jews. We are supposed to believe that if this really happened, such a guy cared what the Jews thought, and would give them a choice on who to kill? Really? He would have killed Jesus, the other guy, and the crowd for good measure.

It’s clearly written to absolve Rome of any guilt since they founded the religion and all of the source material is more likely attributed to Mithra and Simon Magus.

Apparently, Christians are not the only ones who lack basic knowledge about the history of Jesus …
