>Man with the head of a donkey being crucified while Alexamenos watches>ALEXAMENOS WORSHIPS GODWas the dude who made this officially the first reddit-atheist in history? Lol.
>>18392350It was a child/teenager
>>18392350First recorded instance of a christcuck being mocked.
Alexamenos is faithful
>>18392350No, he followed the dominant religion of his society (Hellenism). If anything, it was early Christians who were basically Reddit atheists.
>>18392409This
>>18392409Yeah, abrahomos and reddit atheists share that reddit annoyance.
There are a bunch of greco-roman writers who mentioned Jews worshiping a golden donkey.
>>18392350He was the first basedjakker.
The idea that God could become a man or a man could be the son of a God wasn't abnormal to Roman culture/religion. The idea that they would die like a little bitch on a stick was, however.
>>18392725That is why historians believe Jesus was real and He was actually crucified though. >People would not humiliate their own God like this unless they were being truthfulHistorians also believe in the baptism by John too for the same. Because it is humilating for a man to baptize God. Even John was confused by it in the Gospel.If He were not really crucified, there would be contemporary documents exposing the lie, but there are none besides later inventions 100s of years after the fact.Even non-Christians like Josephus and Tacitus wrote about the crucifixion. Jesus was not born on Christmas though because even the Bible contradicts it. Luke says He was born when the shepherds were watching their flocks by night. 2:8>"There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.”Shepherds did not do this in the Winter. Therefore Jesus was likely born around Spring or Summer instead.Also, He was not born on year 0, that was a manufactured yearly system created long after. The Bible says Herod died after Jesus was born, but Herod died in 4 BC. So Jesus must have been born around 4 BC instead. Historians sometimes believe in the Bible more than Christians these days, lol.Lol.
>>18392355so basically a redditor, got it.
>>18392763>Even non-Christians like Josephus and Tacitus wrote about the crucifixion.Any historian worth a damn, is going to be looking more into Josephus and Tacitus, than the biblical scholars.A historian is going to see that Josephus and Tacitus were tampered with, and wouldn't use them as sources. There's no other sources that actually even approach what would support Jesus existing in history.Biblical scholars aren't quality academics.
>>18392763>He was not born on year 0As counterintuitive as it may be, there is no year 0. It goes from 1 BC to 1 AD.
>>18392725Ngl most Roman hellenes probably had no good idea of what ChrIstians actually believed during this time. Hence the donkey head (borne out of a misconception). Plus, it was commonly though Christians were Incestuous cannibals who sacrificed children to YHWH (also known as Set, I.E Typhon, god of chaos foreigners and everything bad).
>>18392817thought*It's actually really funny how similar these narratives are to later ones against the Jews.Likely because they were also applied to the Jews by pagans.
>>18392790They changed the word Chrestians to Christians. In the oldest surviving copy that we have for that chapter, it's literally showing the edit in progress.The 'E' was being edited, as shown conclusively with UV light, and the word Christians is in the margins.We can see that the Christian scribes were editing documents.But obviously in Latin letters.>picrelThe top picture shows the Chrestians 'E' edit, with Christians in the margin.The bottom picture shows the UV light visual, shows that it was originally an 'E'.
>>18392929There's also other telltales signs that the entire thing was edited.>Using the spelling Chrestians and then saying they're named after "Christus" is nonsensical.>Early Christians were terrorists that pleaded guilty, leading to an immense multitude of them being convicted.>It only mentions Christus, not Jesus. If his information was based on the Roman archives, either:>>Tacitus is mistakenly only referring to a title.>>The title of the person was recorded instead of their name.>>There was someone named Christus.>No other historian or contemporary figure mentions the Christians being persecuted by Nero for the fire in Rome. Suetonius writes about the fire, but doesn't associate it with the Christians.>Tacitus had access to the Roman archives but makes several unusual mistakes:>>He doesn't provide sources.>>A Reference to a title without a name. This is about as useful as a gravestone marked "Oiled.">>Instead of a date, he only provides the range of during Tiberius' reign. A window of 22 years, 5 months, 27 days.>>Doesn't mention Crucifixion. Only that he suffered the extreme penalty.>>Calls Pilate a procurator instead of prefect. While the position was changed in the 40s, he gets the position correct and notes a differnce in earlier in the same book. He evidently knows the difference; he mentions prefects 77 times within three books.Agricola 22Annals 4.36, 4.73, 6.10, 6.27, 12.35, 12.38, 12.45, 12.46, 14.37, 14.41, 14.42, 14.43, 14.63, 15.25(Differentiates Procurators and Prefects a few chapters before making the mistake)The Histories 1.5, 1.13, 1.14, 1.19, 1.24, 1.26, 1.28, 1.46, 1.58, 1.81, 1.82, 1.87, 2.15, 2.26, 2.29, 2.33, 2.39, 2.46, 2.49, 2.55, 2.59, 2.63, 2.70, 2.82, 2.88, 2.89, 2.92, 3.7, 3.12, 3.14, 3.19, 3.35, 3.36, 3.58, 3.64, 3.75, 3.77, 4.2, 4.11, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.31, 4.32, 4.39, 4.49, 4.50, 4.59, 4.78, 5.20Tacitus just wouldn't make such amateur mistakes, as seen in this passage. It's clearly an edit.
>>18392763I fully believe this tho. I use crass language because I don't believe in God but the overall story of Christianity represents an emotionally and socially liberating faction. Who which didn't discriminate on birth status, like being circumsized or restricted to strict schedules, but one which tapped into the individuals heart that out them in touch of a personal God, one which didn't need a Priest or sacrifice to make contact with. A God that valued once acceptance of mortality and fragility instead of promises of earthly favors and protections.
>>18392350The guy who made that art is in hell and his precious Rome fell while Alexamenos is chilling in Heaven
>>18393022You're on the path to a 1000 year long fiery death
