'Covert Messiah' Project Says They Have Proof That Jesus Christ Never
Existed

http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=15349

"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they
said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others,
Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye
that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God." Matthew 16

For 2,000 years, Jesus of Nazareth and the pages of holy scripture have
taken on all comers, put the lie to every conspiracy theory, and stand
untouched and unblemished by the accusations and ravings of a lost and
dying unsaved world. This latest, and might I say, pathetic effort to
discredit Jesus Christ and the bible will wind up in the trash bin with
all the others.

And Mr. Atwill, if you are reading this, why don't you get down on your
knees and ask the Messiah you mock to save your wicked soul? My bible
tells me He will.because if you don't, you are going to wind up here.

From Covert Messiah: American Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill will be
appearing before the British public for the first time in London on the
19th of October to present a controversial new discovery: ancient
confessions recently uncovered now prove, according to Atwill, that the
New Testament was written by first-century Roman aristocrats and that
they fabricated the entire story of Jesus Christ. His presentation will
be part of a one-day symposium entitled "Covert Messiah" at Conway Hall
in Holborn

Was Jesus based on a real person from history? "The short answer is no,"
Atwill insists, "in fact he may be the only fictional character in
literature whose entire life story can be traced to other sources. Once
those sources are all laid bare, there's simply nothing left."

Although to many scholars his theory seems outlandish, and is sure to
upset some believers, Atwill regards his evidence as conclusive and is
confident its acceptance is only a matter of time. "I present my work
with some ambivalence, as I do not want to directly cause Christians any
harm," he acknowledges, "but this is important for our culture. Alert
citizens need to know the truth about our past so we can understand how
and why governments create false histories and false gods. They often do
it to obtain a social order that is against the best interests of the
common people."

Drivel. No-one can prove whether he existed or not.
But there are books other than the bible refer to him.

If you want some facts read this.
