Christ Conspiracy Errata Page

Christ Con Errata



Here's an "Errata" page for my book The Christ Conspiracy. These errors/typos will be corrected in the second edition.



If anyone sees any others, please let me know. (Not "errors" of the kind that Christian fundies don't like, of course.)

Bart Ehrman: Gospels not written by eyewitnesses, no Jesus in historical record

In a debate with evangelists, Bart Ehrman forcefully declares that the gospels "were not written by eyewitnesses or by people who knew eyewitnesses" and that "in the entire first Christian century, Jesus is not mentioned by a single Greek or Roman historian, religion scholar, politician, philosopher or poet."


Since Ehrman agrees on these important essential facts, why did he defame me and other mythicists in his book "Did Jesus Exist?"

Free Hawaii! | Freethought Nation

Free Hawaii! | Freethought Nation



There’s a resistance and sovereignty movement for self-determination and self-governance by Hawaiian natives that few people know or seem to care about. It is estimated that native Hawaiians and other Pacific islanders make up only about 10% of the current population of Hawaii.

What should the natives of Hawaii do? Lob missiles at the cities where non-natives live? Strap on suicide-bomb vests and attack cafes and museums? Use children, schools and hospitals as shields so that civilian casualties can be cited in order to garner support? Enlist the assistance of foreign countries to provide weapons, which natives then smuggle into the land? Should their leaders abscond with foreign aid and live in luxury, while using the commoners as cannon fodder? Is violence really the answer?

And why do so few people know about this issue of invasion, occupation and usurpation of Hawaii? Where are the rallies in support of the Hawaiian natives? The global street marches on their behalf? The nonstop media drumbeating and riling up of the irate masses? Why aren’t concerned American humanitarians leaving the islands in droves and restoring them to the natives? Where is the uproar against the United States government for this “illegal occupation?”

While Hawaiian natives generally peacefully attempt to draw attention to their situation, with little success, relatively violent cultures seem to have no problem creating outrage and justification for violent assaults based on similar calls for a sovereign state. Why is humanity responding to the violence and thuggery, rather than the peaceful efforts? Why reward violence while ignoring peace?

If you do, you can still donate to help publicize my works at the attached link.

Many thanks for your interest and support!

Child sex slavery is a shame on humanity worldwide | Freethought Nation

Child sex slavery is a shame on humanity worldwide | Freethought Nation


Why call it "marriage?" That’s a softening of the fact that this is CHILD SEX SLAVERY, as well as domestic slavery in general. The word "pedophilia" is also too soft, in that it means "child love." This heinous practice is not "child love." It is CHILD RAPE and CHILD ABUSE.

Egyptian writer demands Jewish compensation for 10 plagues allegedly inflicted on Egypt | Freethought Nation

Egyptian writer demands Jewish compensation for 10 plagues allegedly inflicted on Egypt | Freethought Nation



LOL! In the first place, this guy’s name, Ahmad Al-Gamal, suggests that he is an Arab Muslim,
not a native Egyptian. The invasion of Egypt by Arab Muslims did far
more damage than any alleged plagues by the Jewish tribal god Yahweh.
And this damage continues to this day, with Muslim fanatics destroying
Egyptian antiquities.

Did Jesus Fulfill Prophecy? | Who Was Jesus?

Did Jesus Fulfill Prophecy? | Who Was Jesus?



Here is an excerpt from my book "Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of The
Christ," in which I discuss the use of Old Testament verses to create
the fictional gospel tale of the New Testament. My book was published in
2007, so this aspect of my work has been out there for a long time.

I also discussed the use of older texts to create the gospel story in my
book "The Christ Conspiracy," published in 1999. I also included this line of thought in my original essay "Origins of Christianity," written in 1992. I've known about and discussed this development for a long time, therefore. People who don't know my work - some of whom were not even born in 1992 - repeat falsehoods that I do not attribute any of the gospel story to the Old Testament.

Note that in my book WWJ,this list of comparisons between Old and New Testament scriptures is longer, covering some 15 pages of parallels. It would be great if people would actually read my work before pretending to be experts on it and trying to refute it.

Jesus is the Sun in Messianic Judaism

Freethought Nation Forums • View topic - Jesus Christ, Sun of God



I look back at the attached forum thread, begun in 2007, and it's hard to believe that, after all these years and the massive body of evidence I and others have collected, there are still those who refuse to acknowledge that the "Jesus Christ" of the New Testament is based largely upon the sun. Here is yet another piece of this astrotheological puzzle.
