RE: A muslim's perspective on the terrorist attack in Nice, France

in #news8 years ago (edited)

The historical evidence is thin. Jesus like much of the bible seems like a combination of several mythic tropes from other cultures. The magic powers and miracles of christ have neither scientific or credible historical evidence to support them. No one wrote down anything he said, it was all crafted long after the fact. That being the case what good is it if a man named Jesus existed but everything said about him was made up? Moses has similar legendary status and there is no real historical evidence for any of his deeds or that he really existed("Scholarly consensus sees Moses as a legendary figure and not a historical person."wikipedia). There really isn't strong evidence for anything in exodus or that the jews were much more than an unwanted rival warring tribe of people, the slavery myth has zero archelogical support. The old testament reads like an after the fact reckoning of the plight of an ignorant group of nomads who when times were good their god was happy and when times were bad they had done sinful things. It is all nonsense, and since muslims piggy back on this nonsense they too are living in fantasy land. Zeus and Thor could have similiar roots as these legendary christian figures, they could very well have been normal humans deified by the ignorant fearful masses of humanity desperate to understand the chaos around them, historical records from those periods are incomplete so we can never know the true origin. Historical obscurity makes myths, and eventually the bible and all its characters will be seen as purely mythological. We have almost killed off all the gods, just a handful left to put down, and then humans can rise to our full potential.
