Betrayal
Announcement of a 102-page report from the Homosapiens Educational & Legal Project (H.E.L.P.) - Burton H. Wolfe, Principal Director - providing irrefutable evidence that "Jesus" is a myth and "Christianity" is a 1900-year-old fraud.
THE PARTY IS OVER FOR CHRISTIANITY
For 1900 years Christians have succeeded in perpetuating one of the world's oldest frauds: that "Jesus" actually existed and the fables in the New Testament scriptures are events that really occurred. Now that 1900-year-old fraud has been demolished by means of a literary bombshell in the form of a 102-page report from the Homosapiens Educational & Legal Project (H.E.L.P.)* providing irrefutable evidence that the purported events described in the New Testament are entirely fictitious, that "Jesus Christ" and the "Apostles" are inventions of an ancient Hebrew sect or combination of sects whose scribes lifted the events and characters in Christianity's bible from prior mythologies and rewrote them.
The report, written by award-winning journalist Burton H. Wolfe*, author of such books as THE HIPPIES (New American Library) and HITLER AND THE NAZIS (Putnam), is entitled BETRAYAL. The title refers to the mass communications media's relentless publishing and broadcasting of Christian flimflammery while blacklisting anyone who has the evidence to prove that Christianity is a hoax and has been since its inception.
Not in your lifetime will you find anything more important for you to read than BETRAYAL - especially becase the report is published at a time when false Christian morality has become so deeply infested in American society that candidates for political and judicial office are being subjected to a litmus test of how closely they conform to Christian dogma as proclaimed by a particular Christian cleric or group. The survival of the U.S. as a secular society, separated from Christian church dogma, is at stake.

The reason for the confusion is perhaps that ONE of the "myths" of Christianity is that "these other things recounted are 'true' in the historical sense". You think to refute that by "historical evidence"? Show that myth to be "false" that way. Unfortunately saying that a "myth" is"true" refers to the function and meaning of that myth in its social context -- NOT whether the myth is true of false in other realms of discourse.
See, when you say "that myth is false" you are not saying "the other events weren't historical". You are saying things like......
"this isn't a myth that is part of Christianity"
"this myth isn't useful to the Christian belief system"
"this myth doesn't contribute to a Christian understanding"
"there isn't any sense in which it is MYTHICALLY true (a realm outside physical reality)
And any of THOSE statements would be unture on the evidence, the historical evidence intended to be used.
Look --- it may be hard to see what I am talking about as long as we discuss somethign like religion where people have strong emotional commitment for or against. So I'll switch to another example where "realm of discourse:" matters.
Suppose you were trying to judge the truth of the statement...
"Rowena is a blond" (character in "Ivanhoe" by Scott)
You would NOT discuss the truth of this statement in terms of physical evidence (look to see if she were a blond or a brunette). You would not say "no such historical character existed". Again that would be irrelevant. Neither physical evidence not historical truth apply to questions about a character in the realm of discourse "fiction" --- yet the statement is not meaningless (and if you read the book you would say "true statement").
It appears that Apostle Paul knew very little about the actual teachings of Jesus. So where did Paul get his doctrine? He claims to have known Jesus in the "spirit," which is a claim that anybody can make, and many have. (For example, just listen to some of those TV evangelists, or better yet, to our unelected president who considers himself chosen by God.)
Apostle Paul began his career by persecuting the followers of Jesus. Then, after his conversion, Paul essentially took over the church organization, and the original disciples seem to fade from the picture. It was in the decades after Paul had done his work that the books of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John were written; those four books, along with the Gospel of St. Thomas, are the oldest extant sources of information on Jesus.
In short, first there were the writings of Apostle Paul, and about half a century later came the written accounts of Jesus -- the Gospels. So we must wonder to what extant the content of the Gospels was influenced by Paul's doctrines. It's a question that many scholars avoid, while others have concluded that there was no Jesus, and that everything Jesus reportedly said and did was a bunch of inventions. Given the fact that outside of the 5 Gospels (Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and Thomas) we have almost no contemporary mention of Jesus, it's difficult to give any final answer. That, however, is not adequate evidence to dismiss Jesus as a fictional personality.
To me, it seems most likely that Jesus did indeed exist. Back in the first century as now, the powers-that-be did not welcome dissent, and I find it very easy to believe that the authorities would've crucified a protester, after a mock trial. Such things do happen. Haven't we seen enough of that here in our country during this last year?
