Few questions have shaped the world more than this one. Was Jesus of Nazareth the son of God or the

son of some man? Did he really come to reverse the fall or did he even come at all? Two thousand years

of scholarship and holy war later and all I've got to show for it is thousands of talk heathen phone

calls and no solid evidence for a God.

Think you can shed some light on Jesus the Man, the myth, the mystery?

Well, give us a call because the show is coming right now.

Welcome, everyone. Today is September 21st, 2025. I'm your host, Christy Powell, and joining me today for the first time is Godless Engineer. Glad to have you on with me. Hi, what's up, Heathens? How y'all doing? Yeah, I'm excited to get into it.

We've got a pretty interesting question on deck.

This is honestly a question that I have maybe turn my nose up or sort of avoided because

of the like, why does it matter piece of it all?

Plenty of people live and die.

And as far as I know, none of them except for maybe one but probably not that one

but maybe have been the son of God so you know why why doesn't matter if Jesus was a real person

I'm really excited to get into it with you oh yeah and this is a topic that you know a lot of

people know me for and I definitely agree that this is a niche topic that really the most productive

conversations can be had between atheists on the topic that, you know, isn't.

Yeah, yeah, that isn't, you know, dogmatically holding to like the magical version of these stories that we've already put that aside and we're trying to really do the hard work of determining what's true about history.

And that's a lot harder than a lot of people like to think.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.
