I left religion at a young age, but I’ve always just though Jesus was a real person because the Romans recorded his presence, without recording him as a figure in religion at all. I’ll admit I never really did my own research and looked at any records, I’ve just heard lots of atheist say “yeah he was some street preacher” so I just kind of always went with that. But I just seen some convincing arguments that Jesus didn’t even exist whatsoever lol
There are so many things in the Bible that don’t make sense. I started questioning these things when I was still a Christian, and the more things didn’t add up, the less I believed In god or Jesus. For example, Noah’s ark. Noah had to gather two animals of different genders from each species (there is millions of different species) Tons of food for all of the animals, and his family into a wooden boat. How the hell did Noah even get the animals in the first place? He would literally have to travel to different continents. Noah would also have to build the boat that is 100x the titanic. He did all of this during biblical times. It just doesn’t add up. Another thing is about Jesus. In some stories, Jesus is god and he impregnates Mary with himself. (Virgin birth doesn’t make sense either) This doesn’t make sense because Jesus is seen praying to god, so is god praying to god? And if god is all powerful and all knowing, then why would he need a blood sacrifice to forgive? And why did god even create sin, satan, or hell in the first place? Why did he not let Adam and Eve eat from the forbidden tree? Why did he even create humans if he is “all knowing” and knew that the world would be a terrible place? And why doesn’t he do anything to make the world good and end disease, violence, and death? Most Christian’s say it’s because god is letting us have free will, but back when people were building the tower of babble (to get to god btw) god stopped them from building by changing everyone’s languages so that they didn’t understand each other. He interfered then, why can’t he interfere now? I started questioning all of this a year ago which led me to my deconstruction, which led me to not believe anymore, to me being an Athiest. Thank you for reading this. Hopefully you guys can relate.
