The God Who Wasn't There
OP - July 21, 2011, 04:11 AM

A short documentary on the examination of and criticism against Jesus' existence as a historical figure. A little too short to be completely thorough but it seems pretty good so far.

I watched the first 16 minutes. I wonder when a film like this could be made about Muhamad's life, and the fate of who that dared to make such a film. Still I think it would be very, very necessary tp make such a film.

Stick it in "watch later" or favorite it and watch it later. Boom, done.

@Hallakuf: I'm fairly sure Muhammad was a historical figure, although it's not a completely unrealistic idea to pine for a documentary against the validity of his prophethood, nah'mean?

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away

I'll watch he rest later. Now when Jesus as a historical figure is questioned, why would Muhamed not being questioned the same way? I think Muhamed's papers are not stronger than Jesus'.
Besides of that, is it important to know if Jesus and/or Muhamed were historical figures? If you think they are historical ir doesn't mean that they should be regarded as prophets or even gods, so the question if they actualy existed might be interesting, but not very important.

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I could not see him there at all.

Funny, that rhyme is what popped into my head too when I saw the OP.

I heard some Somalian guy brutally killed a filmmaker for making a movie that attacked Islam.

No thats a Moroccan guy. And the guy who was brutally killed was Theo Van Gogh.
