The establishment will not admit the truth. The media will not say it. Rich interest groups refuse to consider it. Even Christian scholars avoid the question entirely. There is absolutely no evidence that a person such as Jesus Christ ever existed. No contemporary Roman records mention him. No historians from his time wrote his name. The evidence is missing. The silence is deafening.
On the contrary, it makes little logical sense that he existed. The Gospels were written decades after his supposed death. They contradict each other on key details. They read like mythology, not history. The story borrows heavily from older pagan gods. The virgin birth, the miracles, the resurrection—these are common tropes. A historical Jesus is not required. The figure works better as a literary invention.
It is the opium of the people
Karl Marx famously proclaimed: “It is the opium of the people.” This metaphor was especially appropriate in the 19th century. Back then, opium was not understood exclusively as a recreational narcotic. It was also widely used medicinally as a powerful painkiller. Doctors prescribed it for physical agony. It numbed the body. It dulled the senses.
Religion works the same way. In Marx’s analogy, it functions partly as a painkiller for social suffering. The poor are promised heaven. The oppressed are told to wait for justice. The sick are assured of divine healing. The pain of inequality is numbed. The anguish of poverty is dulled. The masses accept their misery because paradise awaits. The system remains intact.
That is why the establishment cannot admit the truth. If they acknowledged that Jesus never existed, the painkiller would vanish. The suffering would become unbearable. The anger would surface. People would look for the source of their pain. They would see the inequality, they would notice the exploitation. They would demand change. This could transform people’s anger toward the establishment entirely. Revolution becomes a real threat.
Puppet masters don’t believe in a god
The puppet masters barely believe in a personal God. They are not simple believers. They do not pray for miracles and they do not fear divine judgment. At most, they entertain some deistic notion. Perhaps a distant creator wound up the clock and walked away. But they do not worship. They do not kneel.
Instead, they use primitive superstitions to control the people. They weaponize faith. They deploy religion as a tool. It keeps the masses docile; it maintains the social order. It ensures obedience. The rich stay rich. The powerful stay powerful. The poor stay in line.
They know the myth is useful; they know the story is fiction. They will never admit it. The opium must remain potent. The people must remain asleep. The truth is too dangerous to speak.
