Hi distazo,

critisim on the existence of Jesus and gnosticism (this is what you relate to) is not new either

You are 100% correct my friend. In the historical record, there is nothing about Jesus for decades, and then when some people do start talking about Jesus, they are immediately pounced on by pagan critics - and even by fellow Christians like Gnostics. This criticism isn't new; it is as old as the religion itself, even older (as shown by the Dead Sea Scrolls). For more on this, I recommend you take a look at my book iGod. It's amazing how Christ's teachings even go back (with the Gnostics) to decades BEFORE Jesus was supposedly born. And how details of his life show up decades to centuries AFTER he supposedly died.

I'm also doing some incredible research now about the writings of the big-wigs of the early church, like Clement and Marcion. Eye-opening stuff. We'll need an iGod2 soon! <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
