Quote from BernardRichards:
How is it possible to kill a ghost Mercor?
Jesus never existed!
He was just a figment of Paul's imagination. (See Did A Historical Jesus Exist? http://nobeliefs.com/exist.htm)
This is a truism. Jesus never existed. However, his existence in time/history is equally as true or not true as your own personhood. The fact is, you, as a person, do not exist. Personhood is a figment of your imagination, you, the mistaken Son of God. Paul's was a compounded figment of imagination, which resists a correct interpretation of the symbolism that Jesus personified in parable and parody. Jesus is a symbol that points to the truth. The symbol is not the truth. One must go beyond the symbol to arrive at the truth. Jesus went beyond the symbol(s) to know himself as the truth. The truth is, flesh does not exist...not in truth. Flesh exists off of truth like a parasite exists off it's host. The truth is "broken" that "man" may "live". The "one loaf" is broken for the "many". Get it? This is a converse relationship. Where man appears to be true, the truth is obliterated, mocked, bled and killed. In this way, man lives off the blood of Christ. This describes a kind of psychic vampirism which can only thrive in the dark [in confusion]. Therefore, confusion is necessary for man's existence.
