Jesus Probably 100% Fictional |
It is said that since Christianity spread so quickly, someone truly
real and influencial must have been behind it, and that there is no
smoke without fire, and so on.
On the other hand, it is probably not even 300 years since the
ramblings of a few American immigrants produced Santa Claus, yet that
is a myth of similar proportion, which spread in a similar frame of
time.

Like the rumor of "Mikey" from the life commercials dying, they
couldn't have spread so far & fast if real people weren't spreading
them.
Amazing.

"How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is
dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign
himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God
wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people
quiet."
