1.4. There is No Evidence for the Story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus This section is taken from The Crucifixion Facade: 6. Conclusions by Vexen Crabtree (2002). The crucifixion story of Jesus Christ is mythical, based on pagan religions, and makes no sense: There is a complete absence of evidence for the events described - no authors mention the phenomenal events that supposedly occurred at the time of Jesus resurrection, and, there are no records of Jesus being crucified in the first place. This is despite there being multiple historians of the time who kept extensive records of events in that era, especially of unusual events and the misdeeds of rulers. The only records we have are those written by Christians themselves, the Gospels. And within each of those gospels nearly all details of the crucifixion and resurrection are different. Very important details, such as Jesus last words, are so different that it appears they are simply being made up by the authors. The earliest Christians did not know simple details such as where Jesus was buried. Most the details of Jesus death and rebirth are similar to the existing myths surrounding god-men in that era. The similarities to the Christs of other pagan religions are shockingly detailed, so much so that early Church fathers had to defend themselves against pagan critics who said that the stories of Jesus were simply pagan stories with new names.
