To those wondering about the reference to Hinduism and its incorporation of Jesus, this claim is based on several contemporary movements in Hinduism, like the group assoicated with Sri Ramakrishna (d. 1886) who have indeed argued for Jesus as an Avatar.

Thank you all for watching!

As an atheist, I have to say this was refreshingly balanced, unbiased and well-sourced. I grow tired of videos, articles and books that mock believers with non-stop atheistic dogma, as much as I do those that present atheists as immoral elitists and tout Jesus's divinity as objective fact.

Enjoyed doing this collab with you. Let's talk religion again soon :)

This channel is just amazing. Believer and non-believer people comment, and ALL in a respectful and open-minded way, which is SO rare when talking religion.
I guess I am personnally still questioning the existence or not of a God and have no clear answer yet, but one reason why I stopped going to church a long time ago was (1 thing of many) the fact that I always felt that churches were teaching what was convenient for them, and were hiding/ ignoring many historical facts, or ancient writings...and so on and so forth.
This channel has been eye opening. Always well narrated, and extremely well-documented, and does not lean one way or the other: just gives facts.

As a Christian I cannot get enough of this channel. So interesting! I hope my brothers and sisters in Christianity and outside Christianity have a good day 🩷

Tell me more about this “Jesus is a psychedelic mushroom” theory.

Coming from a Muslim background, I love how this channel comment section is gathering religious and non religious people to debate without any ounce of biggotry or harassment. It proves that most people who tears down another people beliefs are often the ignorant ones. Peace to everyone, whoever and wherever you are!
Thanks for the owner of the channel for his unbiased rigorously selected presentations!

I'm so happy this video is favoured by the algorithm. Your academic approach and attempt to be as non-biased as possible is greatly appreciated and much needed within religious/spiritual circles

[Biblical_Mystery]

Absolutely loved the way you explained the cautionary tales from the Bible. It adds a depth to the message and encourages us to reflect on our own choices. Truly enlightening! ✨

Thanks, as a Mesopotamian Squid Emperor, I found the discussion of the historiography interesting and educational.

Thank you for this video and for offering new perspectives (new for me anyway). I appreciate your videos, the format and the clear explanations.

There was no Year Zero. The calendar went from 1 BC to 1 AD.

Me: huh let's see, I wonder how different other perspectives are about Jesus, I mean, they can't be that different from what I've heard in Christianity, right
Video: Jesus was a mushroom

I find your videos to be refreshingly matter-of-fact rather than opinion. Thanks for providing this content.

[dashpreetus]

As a non-believer i’m so happy that i can find a video that’s unbiased and can give a clear awnser without sounding biased towards a particular side.

[TheFloridaStig]

As someone with a history degree, which included a course on comparative religion. I think the analysis here is spot on. Really smart and well reasoned

Thanks, as a Christian, I found the discussion of the historiography interesting and educational.

I've been binge watching a few of your docs but have now subscribed after you mentioned useful charts! I have loved their channel for years and it's always been an odd fascination of mine so knowing you're collaborating with them to make even MORE insane content makes me happy! Amazing!
