01 "[Luke] says he just 'believes' that the prior Gospels he used as his sources preserve a 'tradition' handed down by eyewitnesses; he does not say those Gospels were written by those eyewitnesses, or had eyewitness sources, or that he did; nor does he mention any way anyone even could know their content actually came from eyewitnesses at all. This is precisely the kind of garbage we never trust from the ancient world. Reliable sources explained where they got their information, and why they trusted it, or how they vetted it, or at least who is saying all this."

02 A Semitic Invention
Christianity is the quintessential Middle Eastern religion. Just because the language of the New Testament is koine Greek does not make this religion any less of a Semitic invention.
To claim otherwise would be like translating the Analects of Confucius into English and then claiming that Confucianism is a Western religion because the medium used for its transmission is the English language.
The Gospel narratives are Jewish legends based on Jewish ideas of Messiah, resurrection, kingdom of god and so on.
Not only is Christianity thoroughly Jewish in origin, but the major theological doctrines of the New Testament are derived from the Old Testament and the intertestamental Judaism of the Greek and Hasmonean periods.
The spread of Christianity across the Mediterranean was the work of enterprising, itinerant Jews.

03 Not One Eyewitness
All accounts of martyred Apostles, all of them, are full of the ridiculous and thoroughly biased toward glorifying the subject and persuading the reader to have confidence and believe, and at least a century late, and by unknown authors using unknown sources—in fact, we cannot even establish that they were using sources at all.
Not one eyewitness or even contemporary source exists for any of them. Nor any neutral witnesses (or even contemporaries). Nor any critical historical account at all. What we have instead, are the very worst and least reliable sources you can ever have for anything.
And what evidence we have, evinces the fact that the original Christian Apostles preached for decades unmolested, even in the heart of Jerusalem itself. If they were ever killed for any reason, even then, it was evidently extraordinary and unexpected.

04 Theodosius was the first Christian emperor to systematically legislate paganism out of existence. He began by enacting a series of draconian measures, soon after his declaration that Nicene Christianity was the official state religion in 380 AD.
Towards the end of his reign, legislation proscribing Hellenistic religion—the so-called Theodosian decrees—became increasingly harsh. This imperial program of cultural genocide descended into an orgy of violence and destruction in the final decades of the 4th century.
The coming storm was foreshadowed by the Christian fanatic Maternus Cynegius, appointed by Theodosius as praetorian prefect in 384. Under imperial orders to suppress pagan sacrifice and divination, he launched his own personal crusade against the Hellenistic religion.
Cynegius demolished some of the holiest sites in the Greek east. Many of these buildings housed antiquity’s greatest artistic treasures.

06 "Peter, James, and John. Paul and his missionary companion, Barnabas. All of these men were Jews, though we identify them with 'the origins of Christianity' . . . Paul is our earliest witness to what would eventually become Christianity. Although he never knew Jesus of Nazareth . . . Paul’s letters date to the mid-first century, some two to three decades after Jesus’ death."

07 "The Christian religionist is at a crossroads; he must choose between the gospel or the survival of Western civilization and the European race. He cannot choose both. A genuine Christian religionist can only side with the survival of Christian orthodoxy, otherwise he would be an apostate, forever denied eternal salvation. In a world where evolutionary survival is a zero-sum game, Christianity is the great enemy of the European race and Western civilization."

08 The Anonymous Gospels
It's well known in mainstream scholarship that the "names" attached to the Gospels were all assigned later, by whoever assembled the four Gospels into a single edition to be published together.
Moreover, their titles use the designation not of authorship, but of source: kata Markon does not mean "by Mark," it means "according to Mark."
This is deeply suspicious. Anonymous sources are not regarded as reliable, but as typically unreliable sources. Historians in all fields expect to be able to identify and thus vet the reliability of even an ancient source: who are they, and why should we trust them?
It goes beyond just knowing their name, but also how they know anything they claim to know, and how they themselves evaluated or fact-checked it, and even what their agenda might be. If we can’t do that, that’s a big black mark against a source.

09 Curiosity As A Moral Virtue
Pagan theology and even de facto atheism both inspired empirical-mathematical-mechanistic scientific thinking in antiquity. Christianity contributed nothing.
It did not wage any war on science; but it did scorn and dissuade everyone from the values necessary to a successful scientific enterprise: embracing curiosity as a moral virtue, assigning evidence the highest authority in debate, and believing in the value and possibility of progress in scientific and technical knowledge.
The pagan elite had all three of those things. Medieval Christians held all three in suspicion or contempt.

11 Apologists typically deny Christianity's role in imperial [Rome's] decline, retorting that Byzantium survived the fall of the Latin West. Our Christian excuse-makers fail to realize that the east was richer and more populous. This allowed the Byzantine state to better absorb the tremendous internal damage caused by the depredations of the parasitical Nicene state religious cult.
There are also geographical reasons for Byzantine survival. The eastern emperor had a much shorter frontier to defend. Constantinople, the imperial capital, was surrounded by a series of massive fortifications begun by Constantine and completed in the early 5th century. These were virtually impregnable to barbarian invaders. Unlike the east, the west had no second line of defense.

12 No One Dies for a Lie?
The false dichotomy the argument starts on is that what someone dies for is either known by them to be true, or known by them to be false. But the Law of Excluded Middle says: what someone dies for might not be known by them to be false.
This is most obviously true for non-eyewitnesses, who die merely for trusting someone else’s word. But it’s also true for “eyewitnesses,” whose own minds have lied to them. And also, of course, eyewitnesses who are being conned (and indeed many a person has been fully convinced of something that was in fact a perpetrated sham).
And also witnesses who aren’t sure of what they saw, but who believe they will gain eternal life if what they saw is what they are told it was, or want it to be—convincing themselves it must be true, merely to avoid personal despair.

13 Incompetent Bunglers
While it might take months of effort, years of training and centuries of accumulated knowledge to build a Greek temple, it took little more than zeal and patience to destroy one.
At the end of the fourth century, as the laws against pagans were reaching an aggressive crescendo, the bishop Marcellus was said to have destroyed the vast and still hugely popular temple of Zeus at Apamea with prayers and the help of a man who was "no builder, or mason, or artificer of any kind."
Today, Marcellus is worshipped as a saint in the Orthodox Church. Though even Christian accounts often present these divine destroyers as incompetent bunglers. Marcellus launched numerous failed attempts on that ancient temple before finally getting it to collapse—it transpired that a "black demon" had been thwarting his purpose.

Jesus Never Existed None of the supposed eyewitnesses ever met Jesus. Not even Paul—whose letters formed the foundation of the Christian movement—who "did not receive [the gospel] from any man, nor was [he] taught it; rather, [he] received it by revelation from Jesus Christ" (Gal 1:12), as further explained in Acts 9. During Jesus' entire lifetime, not one person wrote anything about the miracles, what Jesus said, or what his followers did. There were many first century writers, philosophers, historians, and other commentators—such as Petronius, Seneca, Martial, and Quintillian—who had good reason to notice Jesus, but did not. We have no bodies, no tombs, no physical remains, no letters, no engravings—nothing that counts as evidence. Even esteemed Jewish writer Philo of Alexandria—alive at the purported time of Jesus and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire—makes no mention of Christ, Christians, or Christianity in any of his voluminous writings. @ChristianityExposed
