For all you know it could be some shit a hobo jotted down in his notebook that you're reading.

"back in the day they didn't write"
oh man... seriously? The Iliad was written in the 700's (that's BCE, dude). Gilgamesh was like 2,000 BCE or something.....

nope


just a bunch of teenagers at the time the twelve apostles would have been following this jesus guy. and then well into their 50's, 60's, or 70's when they wrote the stuff.
I mean, on top of it being written at minimum 60 years post mortem, these people also were likely opiate users and roman officials (one of them was a tax collector for the roman government at the time, meaning he was at least in his mid twenties, which also means that he didn't even write anything until the age of 70 or 80....)

They were (rewritten and) composed in three-ninety-something into a single book.

Could someone point this wayward soul to the part of the NT where Jesus says "after I die, you are to abandon the religion I myself have practiced and start a new one"?

Seriously, if Jesus was God and God was a Jew, then what makes Christians think they have it right?
