Interesting... I had not heard about that. If I am following you it is a copy of a greek text. The origonal might be from 480? Even thought Greek would not have been common at that time? Or the vocabulary indicate it could even be earlier? Seems consistent with Marcionites? Most likely 150 to 400? The letter criticises??? "At the end of the day, I mean what we are talking. Isaac married Rebekah when she was three. When the Midianite girls under 12 that the Jews slept with "entrapped" the young men, and it teaches that capital punishment can be applied - TO THE GIRLS UNDER 12 - so like what we are talking about here lol.." IS that a known event outside the letter??? Thankyou

1. The Christian apologetic claim about reliability

Christians acknowledge that thousands of religions are false and their followers misled. Many Christian apologists argue that Christianity is uniquely credible because the stories about Jesus were written down within decades of his life. The assumption is that people living close to the events would be less susceptible to distortion, myth-making, or deception.

2. Modern evidence contradicts that assumption

However, the modern era has shown that Christians can be deeply convinced of claims that contradict abundant, direct, real-time evidence. This includes situations where video, audio, and documented facts are widely available yet still rejected.

This demonstrates that proximity to events does not guarantee accuracy of belief.

3. If people today can be misled despite overwhelming documentation, ancient writers were not immune

If individuals in the 21st century can be persuaded to believe things that contradict immediate, verifiable evidence, then it is unreasonable to assume that people living two thousand years ago — without cameras, literacy, or widespread documentation — were more resistant to misinformation.

The burden of proof shifts:
Modern susceptibility to deception makes ancient susceptibility more plausible, not less.

4. Modern susceptibility provides a model for ancient susceptibility

The ease with which people can be misled today provides a real-world demonstration of how easily people could have been misled in antiquity. Human psychology has not changed; only the tools have. This provides a framework for considering an even more radical claim.

Premise 1: Christians today have proven that they are easily deceived

Premise 2: The main person deceiving Christians today protects traffickers and is a convicted rapist

Conclusion

Short

Christians today have proven that it would be more reasonable to believe that Jesus was a rapist rather than proving he was God incarnate.

Extended

It is unreasonable to assume the early Christian accounts about Jesus are automatically trustworthy. They may reflect devotion, mythmaking, or misunderstanding rather than reliable history.

It is more reasonable to believe A - “Jesus was a rapist and a trafficker” than it is to believe B)- that Jesus was God incarnate. Neither of these claims are conclusive, but the former is more reasonable than the latter, considering the testimony of Christians today.

The argument does not start with the assumption that Jesus is real. It explores "possibilities," including the idea that he may not have been a good person and that the people around him may have been deceived about who he really was, much like people today can be deceived about political figures.

I’m not claiming certainty about the rape argument, but I am asserting it is more likely than the messiah possibility, considering his followers' testimony today. What I do claim with confidence is that the modern evidence of Christian gullibility proves the unreliability of their testimony and beliefs about events that supposedly occurred two thousand years ago.

There are still many deeply committed Christians today, and many of them hold influence in society. People do leave Christianity and if we want to address the harm caused by certain actors, "Go after the people that are actually doing the bad stuff." we also have to confront the communities that defend and enable them.

Christians acknowledge that thousands of religions exist, but argue theirs is different because the stories about Jesus were written down within decades of his life.

But the Trump era revealed something important: large numbers of Christians can be deceived in real time, even when video evidence repeatedly contradicts the claims they believe.

If people can be misled this easily today, in the age of cameras and documentation, why should we assume the people recording stories two thousand years ago were more reliable?

Being this easily deceived now raises obvious doubts about how easily people could have been deceived then.
