(en) france, SocLib: The Making of Idols: From the Mythology of Christ to the Great Lie of the Prophets (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

"The masters of the world have always needed gods to make men accept their domination. To ensure the worker accepted his lot and the peasant bowed his back, it was necessary to invent a supreme authority-an invisible judge promising heavenly rewards in exchange for earthly submission. ----
But when the rigor of history and critical reason is applied to these figures, the entire edifice collapses: Jesus Christ, just like Moses or other so-called 'founding' figures, is a completely fabricated myth.

* The Jesus Case: A Total Absence of Documentary Evidence
Priests keep telling us that the existence of the Galilean is an undeniable fact. This is a brazen lie. As Emilio Bossi (Miles) so effectively demonstrated as early as 1900 in his pamphlet *Jesus Christ Never Existed*, the historical record regarding Christianity is woefully empty:

No contemporary writings: not a single historian, nor any Roman or Greek chronicler living in the first century (the era when Jesus supposedly lived), mentions his name or his alleged miracles. Neither Philo of Alexandria-a contemporary Jewish philosopher who specifically studied the sects of Judea-nor any Roman scribe makes any mention of him.

Christian forgeries and interpolations: The rare references cited by apologists in the works of Tacitus, Suetonius, or Flavius Josephus (such as the famous *Testimonium Flavianum*) are either later additions penned by overzealous monk-copyists or merely attest to the existence of the 'Christian' sect in the first century-not to the figure himself." A mythological recycling: the figure of Jesus is merely a patchwork of ancient Middle Eastern pagan myths (Mithra, Osiris, Dionysus)-virgin birth, resurrection in the spring, the miracle of water and wine.

"Religions are lullabies to put men to sleep and keep them from thinking."
- Sébastien Faure, *L'Imposture religieuse* (1923)

* Moses, Abraham, and Old Testament figures: archaeological confirmation
If history undermines Christianity, modern archaeology has effectively shattered the foundations of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim mythologies.

Archaeological research conducted in the Near East (notably summarized by archaeologists Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman in *The Bible Unearthed*) confirms what freethinkers have maintained for two centuries:

The Exodus never took place: there is no trace of hundreds of thousands of Hebrews wandering the Sinai Desert for 40 years, nor any trace of mass captivity in Egypt.

Moses and Abraham are legendary figures-fabricated centuries later (around the 6th century BCE) to unify a people and legitimize royal and priestly power in Jerusalem.

* Why expose the fraud?
For an anarchist, demonstrating the non-existence of these figures is not merely a scholarly dispute. It is an act of public hygiene and social liberation.

By making us believe in a celestial shepherd, religious institutions reduce humanity to the status of a flock. By asserting that the law comes from heaven (Moses' Tablets of the Law, Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, or the revelations of the Quran), they prevent human beings from freely deciding their own rules for living.

No supreme savior! Neither God, nor Caesar, nor tribune.
The emancipation of the workers and the oppressed will be the work of the oppressed themselves, rid once and for all of heaven and its phantoms."
