Can Freethinkers International challenge Jesus’ existence on X?
At first glance, the question sounds bold. Can one organization, through posts on X, destroy the historical existence of Jesus? However, beliefs do not collapse because someone attacks them. People reconsider beliefs when doubt becomes legitimate. Therefore, the real task is not destruction. It is normalization of examination. Freethinkers International cannot erase Jesus by force.…

Atheists talking to believers who are certain Christ existed
This conversation rarely starts as a historical discussion. Instead, it almost always begins as a defense of identity, which is why it collapses so quickly. On social media especially, belief in Jesus no longer functions as a claim about the past. Rather, it works as a moral badge, a sign of belonging, and a psychological…

Wikipedia: Jesus yes, Rothschilds no
Wikipedia has a longstanding practice of promoting Jesus Christ as a real figure who existed. The issue is that those “arguments and evidence” are ad hoc. If Christian scholars defy Jesus’ existence, their career may end. People without critical thinking accept whatever appears polished and repeated. They trust the first source they see, they trust…

Christian scholars and the non-existence of Jesus Christ
The question of Jesus’ existence looks simple. Yet every Christian institution treats it like radioactive material. The entire religion stands on one figure. The entire moral universe depends on one narrative. Therefore Christian scholars do not enter the debate freely. They enter it with identity, salvation, morality, community, and eternity stacked on their shoulders. And…

Facing Jesus’ non-existence: Two approaches
Every honest inquiry begins with discomfort. And nothing creates more discomfort than asking whether Jesus ever existed at all. Once you look at the historical evidence, the silence becomes deafening. The era overflowed with chroniclers who described everything: uprisings, quacks, prophets, magicians, riots, executions, natural phenomena, and obscure cults. Yet they never described Jesus. This…

There must be God, little, extremely limited
The old God is dead. The personal God of the churches fell under the weight of science. The deist God of philosophers fell under the blows of reason. Yet the word “God” never vanished. Too many people cannot let go of it. Instead, they cut it down. They stripped it of power, personality, and transcendence…

Should we be culturally Christian?
Cultural Christianity sounds harmless. People say it means celebrating Christmas, enjoying church weddings, or calling Europe “Christian” even when belief is gone. But behind this idea hides a dangerous illusion. It preserves myths from the Bronze Age. It keeps alive a worldview that belongs to shepherds, priests, and rulers of ancient tribes. And it risks…

How all prophecies failed
Prophecy has always fascinated humanity. It has been presented as a divine message, a glimpse of destiny, or even proof of God’s omniscience. Many religious traditions claim that prophecy is evidence of divine inspiration, since only an all-knowing being could foretell the future. If that were true, prophecy would be the strongest confirmation of religion’s…

I always knew Christianity was a lie, but not that big
I always sensed something was off. The hymns, the miracles, the rituals—they felt artificial. Still, I gave Christianity the benefit of the doubt. I assumed there was at least a man behind it all. A preacher. A reformer. Someone named Jesus. But the deeper I looked, the more the foundation dissolved. It was not just…

Jesus vs Facts: Did he exist?
Everyone thinks they know Jesus. They speak his name, they repeat his teachings. They draw his face. Yet despite all this familiarity, the truth is far more disturbing. In reality, we know almost nothing. Yes, we have gospels. Yes, we have churches. And yes, we have a religion that reshaped half the world. But no,…
