Fact 1: The earliest official gospel (Mark) was written over a generation (40 years) after the alleged death of Jesus and subsequently, it fails the historical test of contemporaneity.

Fact 2: Of the 662 verses in the Gospel of Matthew, 612 were plagiarised (copied) from the Gospel of Mark (or “Mark’s” source).

Fact 3: The gospels were written by anonymous authors and later falsely attributed to authors who did not write them, nor were these anonymous authors eyewitnesses, with two of gospels, John (See John 21:24) and Luke, (See Luke 1:1-4) specifically stating that they were not eyewitnesses to Jesus.

Fact 4: The gospels contain numerous forgeries, contradictions and errors.

Fact 5: The four gospels were not selected as orthodox Scripture until 180 CE (approx.)

Fact 6: There are no first century witnesses outside of the corrupt and biased gospels that attest to the earthly existence of Jesus Christ, but for a forged passage in the work of the Jewish Historian, Josephus (Testimonium Flavianum), and a second reference in that same compromised work, which is also suspect and in no way represents a specific reference to the Jesus of the gospels.

Fact 7: Almost all of the myths and moral philosophies attributed to Jesus can be found in earlier mythologies and philosophies, held by people that were proximate to the lands in which the gospels first arose.

Fact 8: Most of the earliest Christians believed that Jesus was either a phantom (non-human apparition), or a completely human Jewish rabbi.

Fact 9: Christianity only rose to power due to its blatant disregard for its own Scripture – meaning, it aligned itself with a psychotic “pagan” emperor, Constantine, who boiled his wife in a hot tub, murdered his own son and executed his co-emperor, and he merely used Christianity to solidify his political ambitions (sole emperorship), evidenced by the fact that he continued to practice his pagan faith and mint his coins with Mithras (pagan sun-god), long after his alleged conversion.

Fact 10: The sect of Christians that aligned themselves with Constantine became known as the Catholic (Universal) Church and their chief historian, Eusebius, re-wrote Christian history to present a false picture that favored his sect and made it look as if his group’s theology, found in the four official gospels, was always the dominant and original form, when such was not the case.

Fact 11: For the majority of its history (4th Century – 19th Century), Christianity has been a violent religion, which, like a deadly virus, has taken over its hosts and killed in order to spread.

Fact 12: When Christianity had temporal authority, it was just as brutal as Islam. The only reason we see more psychotic behavior from religious nuts in Islamic countries today, versus Western countries, is because the West has become increasingly secularized.

Eh?

Your 1st so-called fact is already off the mark cuz it ain't a fact it's a theory.

The main reason Mark is dated 1st is mainly because it's the shortest gospel.

And the main reason it's dated after 70AD is cuz Mark 13 has Jesus making a prophecy about the destruction of the temple.

There is numerous evidence in Mark which suggests it's was written earlier than 70AD, eg. Mark does not say the prophecy has been fulfilled(nor does any of the other gospel authors which is inconsistent with their style, especially Matthew who always mention if a prophecy was fulfilled)

Also Mark attitude towards Roman supports the idea that Mark was written before Christians were being persecuted by Roman which started around 64AD.

Christians were being burned alive, torture and crucified. If Mark was written after 70AD it's very strange Mark does not display a negative attitude towards Roman like the other anti-roman Christian writings such as the "Book of Revelation" or "Apocalypse of Peter".

Just to conclude there are Atheists who disagree with the late dating of Mark, such as Maurice Casey who argues in his book "Jesus Of Nazareth" that Mark should be dated around 40 AD.

And Jesus continues his miracles , blessings upon His people and marvelous works even after his time on earth elapsed .

Make that Fact number 13 OP

People are more inclined to automatic healing and excuse for their shortcomings. That is why they subscribe to miracles and attribute every failure as the wish of God. So far as men hold on to these two tenets, they'll never let go of religion even when facts that the game is up stares them in the face.

True story, I wonder how evidence and logic can be used to explain something to people that do not believe in evidence and logic.
