>>21406469To break down his claims from what I have seen from other interviews he has done (with regards to christianity)
His first claim is that the old testament was originally written in Greek, this is plausible and something other hellenic scholars have claimed in the past.
From there he uses his background in greek pharmacology to construct a concept that every cult and religion in ancient society was entirely centred around drug use and sex, including early Christianity.
He claims all the apostles were young boys and that Jesus was a cult leader medicine man who somehow used their bodies to store drugs and extracted them from their penis, which he specifically claims the linen cloth Mark wears in the garden was actually medical gauze on his penis.
He claims Jesus was taking some
Drugs in the garden before the authorities arrested him for trafficking and sex crimes and then he died of an overdose on the cross.
It’s a pretty wild jump imo and relies HEAVILY on incredibly specific interpretations of certain greek words, as well as major logical leaps and frankly ignoring wider context entirely.
If I’m getting it wrong please someone correct me.
