I ain’t afraid of no ghost

Perhaps you recall the 80’s movie Ghostbusters and the catchphrase from the movie’s theme song that I used as the title of this entry. More concisely put, I’m not afraid of ghosts for one reason — they do not exist, never have & never will.

That’s because there is no such thing as the afterlife for those who die. No heaven, no hell, nothing. All religion is total hogwash if they’re preaching belief in a god or an afterlife or anything spiritual. The only afterlife that occurs is the people who go on living after the life of someone else ends.

Did you know that there are no writings abourt Jesus during his lifetime, and the first of which did appear were some 25 years after his alleged life/death by someone who had never met him? Did you know that there were many religions that came before Christianity that made the same claims as it, such as the messiah, the rise of the dead, the son of a god-like being, etc? One count I read was that there were soms 27 different long-dead religions that had the same messiah story before Christianity.

There are writings about Jesus outside of the Gospels, but the one thing Chrstians can’t honestly answer in the affirmative is why there are no writings about Jesus during or immedately after his lifetime. If he were so well-known, surely these contemporary writings would exist. There are none anywhere near it, and I mean none within 2, 5, 10 years of it either in the Gospels or secularly. If Paul was a follower very close Jesus’ time of death, surely he would have written about it long before he did. Wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t somebody?

What does it mean to not have any writings about Jesus during his lifetime? It’s a big deal, and it goes a long way toward disproving the idea of Jesus existing at all. These are called “contemporary writings”, meaning the writing about the subject happened while the subject existed. i.e, the writings occurred before, or at least just after the alleged Jesus’ death. When I say “just after”, I mean within a few months of it on the outside. Giving the leeway of 25 years after his alleged life ended is ridiculous as we’re probably dealing with second & third-hand accounts at best. People back then didn’t live very long, many dying in the 20’s & 30’s if they lived that long. Modern medicine wasn’t there to save them, and a common ailment today could easily kill you if we didn’t have drugs & vaccines & sterilization procedures for them.

Keep in mind that there are tons of writings about people who lived in Judah during Jesus’s time, and of people and places that existing thousands of years earlier & thereafter. The Hebrew Torah was written that long before the Jesus tale allegedly happened, and the 1st 5 books of the 24 books of the Torah is the 1st 5 books of the Christian bible. Yes, the Jewish “Bible” is part of the Christian bible, which Christians know as the Old Testament — Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy. By the way, Judisam is just as full of crap as the other religions are — and you thought Jews were highly-intelligent people?!? Truly intelligent people don’t believe in religion.

We have evidence of writings by The Sumerians who occupied part of Iraq 3,400 years before the Christ story was invented. Did you study Mesopotamia in grade school? That’s what George W. Bush started blowing up in 2003 — Mesopotamia was in what we call Iraq today, and it was developed by the Sumerians & Akkadians. It was the first evidence of a modern civilization between the Tigris & Euphrates rivers. Writing has been around for over millenniums before the Christ saga was written, so this wasn’t a new concept.

It’s true that many writings have been lost to time, such as those of Plato & Socrates, but we know they exised because they were written about by their students during their lifetimes & immediately thereafter. As I said earlier, the 1st person to write about Jesus was Paul some 25 years after Jesus’ alleged death. Adding to that fact that the Jesus story is simply a plagiarism of many other preceeding religions make the whole story completely untrustworthy.

In Christ’s alleged lifetime, there are plenty of writings about King Herod The Great & his son, also known King Herod, the latter of which was in control of Judah during Jesus’ lifetime, which is how we know Herod The Great. The bible mentions him as do plenty of secular writings from the time when the Herods were alive. There are plenty of writings about Julius Caesar while he was alive that exist.

If Jesus existed and was a major player in a religious movement during his lifetime or immediately preceding his death , there would suriving secular writtings of this alleged fact, but none exist. I rest my case and conclude that the Jesus story, and therefore the entirty of Christianity, is a complete lie & the greatest B.S. story ever told and believed. The Jesus Mythology is what it is.
