Here's something to consider for those of you that are not religious or on the fence.
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Logically either all religions are either false or only ONE is true since they conflict.
If one is true and the world is being run by evil that is lying to us then that true religion would be disproportionally attacked while false ones would be left alone or encouraged.
I can only think of one religion that is attacked above all others.... Christianity.
If it's being attacked / misrepresented by the people trying to enslave / kill me then it must be a threat to them / their plans.
Ergo you should examine Christianity.
I love how you phrase it. It presupposes that 289m has knowledge but chose to set it aside.
However, when you consider what he writes, it does not show ignorance, but a careful determination.
This is something that you cannot, under no circumstance accept, as the admittance would creep in that your collection of folktales belong to a body of knowledge, expressed through time and place in different ways.
The sheer fact you are not aware of the 15 saviors that have preceded your Jesus, with the same details, time frame, and death, shows that you are arguing from a limited place. Upsideis the word ignorant does not apply, as it pre-suppposes knowledge ignored, but nescient could fit: as ne means no and scient means knowing = not knowing.
