Excerpt from Murray's Eye-Opener: An Attempt at a Logical, Legal, Historical and Ethical Analysis of the Christian Superstition Many on both sides take up the question as if it involved the whole question of Religion. The fact of the matter in that Christianity is only a Religion and a very indefinite Re ligion at that. The central point in Christianity is, of coal-anthe' person, character and teachings of Jesus Christ. Some people take up the Question, Was there ever s/uch a person asjesus Christ? I shall attempt to prove that there never was such a person as the Christ of the Church - The, only begotten Son of God Who became man and was sacrificed as an atonement for the transgression of the law of God by the human race. That there was a certain person and that his name was Jesus and that he was put to death may be granted for the following masons (1) That a society calling itself Christian existed shortly after the accepted date of the execution of 'jesusmay be granted from the fact that early Roman historians referred to the society called Christians and the accusations brought against them. (2) The ekemitiun of a person. Again is a fact much more capable of proof by ordinary legal methods than. The character. Teachings and motives of that person.
