THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

@TheMuslimApologist on the forgotten Holy Spirit supposedly co-equal to Jesus and God
James Valliant's conspiracy theory claims that the Roman Empire—specifically the Flavian dynasty (Emperors Vespasian and Titus)—invented Christianity as a political tool to pacify militant messianic Jewish rebels after the First Jewish-Roman War.Core Claims of the TheoryThe Roman Invention: In their book Creating Christ: How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity, James Valliant and co-author Warren Fahy argue that the New Testament was engineered by the Roman elite around 60–80 AD.The Role of Paul: The theory positions the Apostle Paul as a pro-Roman figure or agent whose teachings were used to subvert traditional, anti-Roman Jewish nationalism.Pacification over Rebellion: Paul’s writings instruct Christians to submit to governing authorities and pay taxes, which Valliant interprets not as spiritual advice, but as direct Roman propaganda designed to stop Jewish insurrections.Co-opting the Faith: The Roman state allegedly took a fringe messianic movement, stripped it of its violent anti-Roman resistance, and turned it into a philosophy focused on spiritual salvation and obedience to the state.Scholarly ReceptionMainstream Dismissal: Mainstream historians and biblical scholars overwhelmingly reject Valliant's theory as a fringe conspiracy.Lack of Evidence: Critics point out that there is no solid archaeological or textual proof that Roman emperors authored or sponsored the New Testament.Contradictory Texts: Scholars note that the New Testament includes texts like the Book of Revelation, which openly demonizes the Roman Empire as "Babylon," directly contradicting the idea that the texts were uniform Roman propaganda

I call out Vincent's philosophical skepticism.
Vincent Bruno claims being sure he does not know is superior to the people who make sound arguments! He is not the first practitioner of philosophical skepticism.
