British journalist Rob Williams once issued a statement that an American scholar Joseph Atwill was preparing a speech in London, who proves in his new book The Roman Conspiracy Against Humanity - An Invention of Jesus Christ that there was simply no Messiah. Note that Atwill's performance itself never appeared on the Web …
Atwill on his website claimed that he had uncovered the mystery of the appearance of Christ, in his opinion, Christianity is a sophisticated state policy of the Roman aristocracy of the first century, thanks to her, the story of the birth, activity and crucifixion of Jesus was completely fabricated.
The Romans, the American scientist wrote, were tired of the numerous uprisings of Jewish sects, which were sure to expect a warrior Messiah, and therefore decided to create a competing, very attractive story about a peaceful Messiah, who taught to love everyone and everyone, turn the other cheek when they hit the first, and regularly pay taxes. Christianity, Atwill argues, is designed as a sophisticated mind control system that breeds slaves, believers that slavery itself is good because it is God's command.
Joseph made his discovery on the basis of painstaking study of the New Testament and "The Jewish War" by Josephus. The military company of Titus Flavius, the scientist said, surprisingly coincides with the events and places of Christ's sermons, that is, the biography of the Messiah is simply constructed on the basis of early historical events.
Rob Williams cautiously emphasized at the time that Atwill's "discovery" was just one of many "biblical conspiracy theories." For example, among other similar theories that deserve attention, one can include the assertion of the theologian Gunnar Samuelson that Jesus simply could not be executed like that in the first century, since at that time there was no tradition of crucifying anyone on crosses, even opponents of the official churches of this or that state. And if this is a lie, then how can you believe in everything else that is written in the New Zawn?..
Another notable conspiracy theory is based on a scroll with an ancient Egyptian text accidentally found in 2002 in the British National Museum. So this artifact, which dates back to the fourteenth century BC, word for word repeats the most famous prayer of Jesus Christ "Our Father …". It turned out that it was the "Blind Prayer" of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, whose biography is very similar to the adventures of Christ. Note that many scientists, for example, the Russian researcher Nikolai Morozov, as well as the Barcelona priest Logari Pujol, much earlier than this British find, based only on studying the history of Ancient Egypt and Christianity, came to the conclusion that the personality of Jesus was simply copied from Akhenaten …
