Did The Romans Invent Jesus?

Interesting.

Philosophically, the view that the Twilight of the Gods preceded that modern revisitation, accelerating by leaps and bounds, [Protestantism, Industrial Revolutoon, the political revolutions of the 18 th century all the product of the Enlightenment]- was due to the imminent collapse of the greatest Empire known until then, where the Gods had tremendous significance and social utility. That the collapse could not be held up by idols any longer, as supporting an imperium, socialism dressed up as an another evolved out of social consciousness.

That any political elite could have done this, is questionable, but what is not at all uncertain is, that the Christians supported an anti hero, one who transvalued society into a precursor of social values. This transformation only needed a mystical type of man, and it could have been anyone, feeling the pressures of social, political and economic change increasingly creating disturbance and hopelessness.

The dying gods had to resurrect in some other form, so a son was given to fit the role of redemption.

Sure , it seems cataclysmic, however hundreds of years of decay was plenty of time to develop it

Sounds familiar? This is not an opposite view of invention, only it reflects more of a.mold, into which some idea was borne into. It was thought up, but only through a very long and Extended time, where by authorship must have been more allusive socially, and molded around a single figure.

It could have been the primordial effort by a werary empire/emperor to disseminate and deconstruct responsibility and public discontent for a diminishing empire.

I the death of the Gods was never proclaimed textually, people connecting the glory of Rome with the agency of god, caused a social diminution of belief, in a society where religion and national grandeur were not mutually excluded.

Cool aesthetics.
