Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All by Robert Fitzgerald (2010)

Look up the table of contents, on Amazon.

Basically a full defense of Jesus = Myth.

Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

Excellent book.  Basically like shooting fish in a barrel. 
The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails.

Was this a stunning revelation to you?  I kind of thought it was obvious.  Is that why you are confused in discussions and make bad jokes in most of your posts?

Not at all.  I have understood myth since I was reading The Adventures of Hercules when I was 8 years old.  But if you want to believe in Giant Japanese Robots ... feel free.  Base you lifestyle and politics on that too.

Never assume, because when you assume, you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me"!

My first week at work for the Federal Govt, my new boss pulled that one out on me.  I asked him what he expected to happen when he flipped the office light switch.  He never mentioned it again.  And he probably (correctly) ASSUMED that I would be his boss one day.

I also had a different person state that there was no 'me' in "team".  People are utter idiots sometimes.

I think I first heard that in some movie with Ben Stein.

You haven't missed anything. He's a rabid right-winger. He was kind of funny in a few movies though, and he had a game show called "Win Ben Stein's Money" that was pretty good.

His side-kick on his game show was Jimmy Kimmel, one of my favorite people.
