Christ Debunked

If I engraved "Zeppelin the ignoramus" on a bowl, do you think that would make it true if archaeologists discovered it 2,000 years later?
 
"Christ" means savior so it could have been talking about anyone. Or maybe someone was just trying to make money off of Christ's name and reputation. No... no one would do something like that! Sell trinkets with references to famous or popular people?

There's nothing here to debunk Christ.

My typo actually proves my point further. You don't know what idiot engraved that cup 😀
 
then the discovery may provide evidence that Christianity and paganism at times intertwined in the ancient world.

well no crap early christianity and paganism intertwined in the ancient world.
 
Two things:

Isn't it funny how human are. Imagine the foundation for a religion that, what 1/4 of the world's population follows, could be the equivalent to a modern day David Blaine or Chris Angel? It really isn't that far fetched either, especially considering all the other crap people believed at the time.

Based on the general idiocy of the modern world when it comes to grammar and spelling, imagine how bad the people in the past must have been, considering far fewer of them were educated at all. It'd be interesting to see what people thousands of years from now would try to glean by reading stuff posted on the internet.

This is completely new!

It's not like Christmas or Easter are really pagan holidays that never had anything to do with the Bible or Christianity.

Really, it's not like that at all.

My thoughts exactly.
 
There are a lot of people here who should probably read up on history of the time period before drawing too many conclusions based on this report.

If Chris Angel started healing AIDS patients then you have a point.

except for the fact that if a pot maker was going to engrave something on a special pot, he would have a scholar come do it for him most likely. at any rate, if he were so inclined to etch on his pottery, he would most likely have a better understanding of written form than the unwashed masses. do you go down to the local DES office looking for someone to proofread your manuscript? or do you hire a person that specializes in editing large works?
 
Christ was the son of God, but actually he was God too. He was born of a virgin. He suffered an agonising death that he knew would happen in advance to absolve mankind of their sins. The sins he bestowed upon us because a couple of people ate and apple. Because a snake told them to. Oh, and the chick was made out of a rib.

Thank god we now have some scientific evidence regarding whether or not this happened. The story was so compelling.

What if I scrawled a big story on some parchment and called it "Bible"? Then would it be true?
 
did the OP even read the article?

The magus might then have used the engraving on the bowl to legitimize his supernatural powers by invoking the name of Christ, the scientists theorize.

Goddio said, "It is very probable that in Alexandria they were aware of the existence of Jesus" and of his associated legendary miracles, such as transforming water into wine, multiplying loaves of bread, conducting miraculous health cures, and the story of the resurrection itself.

so theory is that a random mystic writes Christ on his bowl in attempts to imbue it with supernatural power.
where's the "debunking" of anything?

"The God described in this book exists because he is responsible for writing this book."
