re: Leftist Melt of the Day Provided by Grok

I mean, you can quibble over it if you want, but I won't be playing along. The historicity of Jesus is only questioned by fools. From where I sit, the primary accounts of Paul are more than enough to establish it. Having someone who personally knew multiple associates of his is as near-contemporaneous as you're going to get for events that happened 2,000 years ago among a group of goat herders in the desert. Especially when you start looking at all of the others that came along shortly after writing about him. The gospels, Josephus, Tacitus, and Pliny.

But good luck with it.

Freaking Rock on Grok...

Where can I buy some stock in this Grok?

That’s actually pretty awesome

No problem.

I don’t get where people come and try and deny even Jesus’s existence. Many other massive religions recognize him, he’s more written about than many leaders if not all at that time by more independent historians at the time and people went on to spread his gospel and died in horrible ways doing so, which is at least an indication it’s not a lie

I mean, technically he is right. In the strictest sense there are no existing contemporaneous accounts of Jesus. But there are several near-contemporaneous accounts and Jesus' historicity isn't really in question academically.

It is surprising that Grok is so adamant about it considering this. But also cool. I'm happy to see this from Grok for sure.

What I mean by surprising here is that it's surprising Grok would say that there are contemporaneous accounts of Jesus and base it's reasoning on that, because technically that isn't accurate. I don't disagree with your sentiments, only that it's surprising to see Grok say specifically what it said.

I know I am biased through faith but Christianity is pretty locked downs imo of all religions as the one that AI would say has best chance of being real. Not surprised Grok says it tbh

Which version of Christianity?

No, there were active historians actively writing about happenings in thst region at the time.

Also we're speaking about supernatural claims. If thos flies so many other supernatural accounts do.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
