The art of being a good internet troll is playing the part your haters want you to play. So thanks to clubschadenfreude, I am coming out of the closet to admit that yes…I am fully indeed a proud goddamn Christian and that I simultaneously deny the historical existence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Clubschadenfreude clearly understood all the arguments and the nature of historical investigation. I should state that he/she totally wasn’t drive-by commenting on a post about a subject they had a knee-jerk reaction towards. It was a very enlightening and respectful conversation that you can read below.

And why stop at denying the historical existence of Jesus? Fuck it, I’m doing a step further…Julius Caesar didn’t exist!

Prove me wrong!

As you can tell, this was a meeting of the two minds. Hopefully this serves as an example of true scholarly debate.

Imagine if you actually met Jesus (Christ).

I’m not talking about the “Second Coming” or whatever, I mean what if you got transported back in time 2000 years ago and met Jesus of Nazareth. What would you see?

Studying the history of early Christianity really makes me appreciate how little we know about ancient history. Sure there’s some records here and there, but we’re really riding blind.

Imagine if historians 3000 years from now just have Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, this blog, and the ruins of Las Vegas to go on while studying our era. That would leave them with a pretty odd view. But that’s essentially what we’re going by when evaluating ancient times.

Every famous person from back then, like Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great, was probably half a foot shorter than you imagine and you could have easily kicked their ass. What I am saying is that I can stomp the shit out of a Spartan. 300 was just a movie, a shitty one at that. I am taller, got more muscle, and when I’m when I’m trying to quit nicotine I can take anybody. ANYBODY.
