powder Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Has anyone read Joeseph Atwill's book or seen the documentary? It is called "Caesar's Messiah, the roman conspiracy to invent Jesus" where he goes over the evidence that points to the idea that the Flavian Caesars created the character of Jesus and the christian religion as a political tool to subjugate and pacify the flock, and esp the messianic movements of the time that were a threat to the empire. You can do a search and find a couple very good interviews he did for Redice radio. It is a fascinating and novel historical perspective and worth considering if you like that sort of thing. I do. I also believe that religion and politics, or the state, are two sides of the same coin of control used by the ruling elite. They are both, at their foundation, systems of control where the 'subjects' are brainwashed into bowing to authority.

I did go over a bunch of reviews and none of them were very convincing or well researched or substantiated. That guy did an ok job but a lot of his logical assumptions about why things could not have been are just that, no evidence or historical references provided to back up his claims. this guy does a better job of dubunking Atwill's claims I think.
