    Jul 18 2024

    In this enlightening episode, our host continues his deep dive with the renowned Godless Engineer, exploring the intriguing subject of mythicism. Building on their previous conversation, they delve into the complexities of mythicism, examining the evidence and lack thereof for the historical existence of Jesus.

    Godless Engineer, also known as John, shares his insights on how early Jewish Christians might have reinterpreted existing scriptures to create the figure of Jesus, paralleling the development of other mystery cults of the time. They discuss the implications of Paul's writings, the influence of mystery cults, and the reinterpretation of Old Testament scriptures.

    Throughout the episode, our host and Godless Engineer address common objections and questions, including the argument that similar mystery cults were created by Satan to confuse believers. They also touch on the importance of critical thinking and the challenges of confronting deeply held beliefs with historical analysis.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the historical roots of Christianity, the development of religious stories, and the application of critical thinking to religious claims. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional narratives and offers new perspectives on ancient beliefs.
