>When you realize money is a fiction

>> No.17894386

Its not a big deal. Our whole lives are structured around fictions, its what makes us human and differentiates us from animals. Society is a fiction, the State is a fiction, Religion is a fiction, even Science is a fiction. That doesn't mean they aren't real or can't affect you. Quite the contrary, fictions have a bigger effect on day to day experience of life than the material layer.

Fpbp. That's why I'm an English major, to better interpret our fiction. Only reason any of this matters is because of our faith in it and our ability to believe and will into existence. It's kind of beautiful.

>The majority viewpoint among scholars is that Jesus existed. Bart Ehrman has claimed that Jesus certainly existed, and that "virtually every competent scholar" agrees with him. Richard A. Burridge has stated that he does not know of any "respectable critical scholar" who still argues that there never was a Jesus at all. Classical historian Michael Grant said that, in recent years, "no serious scholar" has ventured to postulate the non-historicity of Jesus.[5][7][8]
