Hitchens On The Jesus Myth
Posted on 31. Dec, 2010 by Cameron in Christianity, Jesus mythology
Some interesting points Christopher Hitchens makes in this video that are worth considering. He actually highlights aspects of the New Testament that suggest there was, in fact, a man at the basis of the Jesus myth. It’s certainly an interesting argument and one I haven’t considered before. While there is absolutely no hard evidence to support the existence of Jesus, you might infer from the poor attempt at fabrication that the authors of the NT attempted that there might have been someone at the center of it. Otherwise, the fabrication might have been better composed.
No Illusions Live #17 – All About Wikileaks
Posted on 08. Dec, 2010 by Cameron in geopolitics, Podcast, Wikileaks
Last night Chrissy & I chatted for an hour about Wikileaks. We point out the mistakes a lot of people on Twitter (mostly Americans) are making when it comes to Wikileaks. We talk about the major stories that Wikileaks have broken with Cablegate, as well as the truth behind the Assange “rape” allegations. Chrissy also talks about how her perspective of US politics has changed in the 18 months she’s been living in Australia.
Questions for Wikileaks’ Critics
Posted on 08. Dec, 2010 by Cameron in geopolitics, Wikileaks
1. Do you think its possible that the US govt has ever committed acts of violence or been involved in corruption of any kind?
2. If so, do you think the public deserve to know about it?
3. If so, do you think they would ever admit to it publicly of their own accord?
4. If not, do you know of any other way it is likely to come out other than via whistleblowers?
