Caesar’s Messiah: A forum for discussion # 7

The meeting was a discussion between Joseph Atwill and Ramzi about the origins of Christianity, focusing on Joe's thesis in "Caesar's Messiah" that the Roman Flavian court created the Gospels as a tool for social control. Ramzi shared comments from a friend who believed that the teachings of Christendom, particularly the Roman Catholic Church, were influenced by Roman and Babylonian philosophies, but Joe argued that the Gospels were a direct Roman creation to promote pacifism and obedience among the empire's subjects. Joe explained that the Flavian court, along with the Herod and Alexander families, had the motivation, opportunity, and capacity to produce the Gospels, which were steeped in both Jewish scripture and imperial cult language. The conversation also touched on the dangers of AI and modern oligarchs like Elon Musk and Bill Gates, whom Joe described as artificial figures selected for social control. Ramzi agreed to send Joe a transcript of his friend's commentary for further review.
