Roots Of The Roman Catholic Church Christian Jack Chick
verifies the SOLAR CULT roots of Christianity.
The
Myth of the Historical Jesus by Hayyim ben Yehoshua. A
Jewish perspective.
The Jesus of History--A Reply to Josh McDowell by Gordon
Stein. Stein expertly does away with the purported
passages in the works of historians such as Josephus, Suetonius
and Tacitus so widely trumpeted by Christian apologists as
evidence of Jesus's existence.
The Astrological
Foundation of the Christ Myth by Malik Jabbar. The
Bible is Solar Mythology.

claims regarding historians.

inscriptions.
Who is
This King of Glory? Alvin Boyd Kuhn reveals the Egyptian

of the Sun From The Worship of Nature by J.G. Frazer.

the Persian sun god Mithra, that eventually became
Christianity.
The Historicity of Jesus FAQ Debunks, once again, the
spurious claims that the "historical Jesus" is found anywhere
outside the New Testament. Apologists really need to give this
up.
Did Jesus Ever Live? Debunking by well-known Rationalist
Joseph McCabe. Oddly and irrationally, after showing the story
to be preposterous, McCabe eventually reveals himself to be an
evemerist, i.e., someone who finds a "human" core somewhere
under the numerous pagan mythological layers. His dating of the
canonical texts is also off but represents the typical academic
perspective.
The Rationalists Manual by MD Aletheia. Loads more on the
Pagan origins of Christ and Christianity.
Did Jesus
Exist--The Probing Mind by Frank Zindler. Well-written
overview of the arguments against a "historical Jesus."
Regarding the spurious passage in Josephus, Zindler says: "As
late as 891, Photius in his Bibliotheca explicitly states that
Josephus makes no mention at all of Jesus' miracles and acts -
indicating that the disputed passage was absent from his copy
of Antiquities of the Jews. The question can probably be laid
to rest by noting that as late as the sixteenth century,
according to Rylands, a scholar named Vossius had a
manuscript of Josephus from which the passage was wanting."
Christianity is a
Meme "On a more personal level, religious conversion is
known to alter the chemistry of the brain in many people. The
high of the born-again Christian is a state of euphoria with
addictive qualities. The Christianity Meme need only provide
religious explanation for the high, like 'the love of God,' to
create a strong infection."
