Law and order: Scholar Joseph Atwill asserts that Christianity did not start as a religion, but was instead created as a sophisticated propaganda tool to pacify subjects of the Roman Empire

 
  • Joseph Atwill says Romans 'used Christ as propaganda to pacify subjects'
  • Made 'discovery' while reading only surviving account of 1st-century Judea
  • Claims dozens of hidden parallels between Emperor TItus Flavius and Jesus
  • He said: 'Biography of Jesus is constructed, tip to stern, on prior stories'
  • The claims were dismissed by bible academic James Crossley, who compared Mr Atwill's work to that of author Dan Brown
 
He says he noticed a pattern forming when he was studying the only surviving account of first-century Judea, which he claims contains dozens of parallels between the life of a Roman emperor and that of Jesus in the New Testament.

  The Romans did not make up

  The Romans did not make up the story of Isis, Osiris and Horus. Which is what the Jesus story is all about. It is a repetition of the ancient Egyptian mystery religious stories from the Book of the Dead. As the Bible says: ''There is nothing new under the Sun.''

Now, having said that, there is also little doubt in my mind that the Jesus story was resurrected (no pun intended) for the purpose of population/political control by Emperor Constantine who was at this time being forced to share control of the Roman Empire with two other ''rulers.'' 

But the story itself wasn't made up by the Romans. It was an updated, plagiarized version of an older story having to do with humanity's ancient and forgotten past.
