>Gospels written in the same century as Jesus vs. sources for Alexander that surfaced 400 years later are less reliable because I said so
>Alexander had coins and statues...
Did Jesus not have statues or paintings of himself, why is this fake person getting so much attention?
>We don't have Historians who study the gospel accounts like Aryan studied what eyewitnesses had to say about Alexander
Except we do, this is blatant dishonesty on Richards part, he is literally doing the thing he talks about by just evaluating the gospels, is he fucking stupid or a liar? I mean for Gods sake, there's actually no evidence that Max Stirner existed except for that stupid drawing, it could very well be a made up character by Engels.
>Paul is not attesting to Jesus a bazillion times in his letters, so there must be something wrong here
Or maybe the people he was writing to don't need to be convinced that Jesus was a real man.
>Oh but they DO because they argued finer points of scripture and Paul disputed with people and Peter too!
They didn't dispute over the existence of Jesus Christ, and there is no reason to believe that Paul ever disputed with Peter despite what people believe about Galatians 2.
