  • A story claiming to be true does not make it more true than one that doesn’t make that claim.

    But if that’s your sticking point, Lord of the Rings. It claims to be a translation of a true story. Was Frodo real?

    A story claiming to have eye witnesses to events doesn’t mean there were any, the author can say anything that makes their work sound more believable, and given that there were no other documents making those completely unbelievable claims, they remain unbelievable fictions.

    It kind of sound like you are unaware of the council of nicaea…where they decided to make Jesus a divine figure, and not just a prophet, among other stories they twisted and chose to suit their needs. We may not know their exact names, but we know the group and the months they met to write this book.


  • That guy is a character in a book that wasn’t written until decades after his supposed death. And those stories that made it into the book were knowingly cherry picked and modified to fit a narrative that the Romans wanted to push at the time.

    The only “evidence” he rose from the dead was that someone wrote down that someone told someone else that they knew of a few people that saw an empty cave a few days after they had stuffed a corpse in it. And said book also contains a contradicting story about the same event.

    So not exactly screaming reliable primary source…

    There’s more evidence that Spider-Man exists/ed.
