Excerpts from the book Unkilling Jesus which highlight some of the key discoveries implied by new theories about the origin of the Jesus Myth. The idea that the Romans invented Christianity is the basic premise of new theories about the origin of Christianity.

This book is the shorter version of my book Paul’s Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus. Robert’s Razor is the name I have given to the mindset of rejection of anything that cannot possibly be intellectually. Robert’s Razor, similar in intent to Occam’s Razor, rejects any idea that reeks of the mystical and the non-sequitur. It also rejects any moral ...

Understanding the Book of Revelation is the third and final book in the series about the conflict between Paul and Domitian over Paul’s version of Christianity which is found in the gospels. My goal is to elaborate on the story hidden between the lines of the Pastorals (Coded Messages in the Pastorals), the sealed letters of Revelation (The Seven Letters of Revelation – A Radical Interpretation) and this book (Understanding the Book of Revelation). My goal with this last commentary is to finish the study, and, of primary importance, to demystify the Book of Revelation. Toward this goal,...

This second book (How They Wrote the Gospels Volume 2) fulfils the promise of the first volume “How They Wrote the Gospels”. This book surveys the literature about how the gospels might have been written. Falling firmly on the idea that the writing of the gospels was a project in which four or more writers had copies of a source document that they were charged with editing and converting into a document about the “Life of Jesus”. The source document in question was a history of the Jewish War probably written by Marcus Agrippa Jr and appropriated by his secretary, the man we call ...

This book represents one section of my book Unkilling Jesus . I have separated out this section of the book because I believe it can stand alone and make a case that the gospels have been fabricated. This book describes that fabrication and how it served to create, eventually, the religion known as Christianity. (Please note that there is an already published book excised from my book Unkilling Jesus. It also stands alone and make the argument on how the fish symbol became associate with both Titus and Jesus. This book is called The Mark of Titus .) This book is about love for the mind of ...

Domitian’s contribution to religion is virtually unknown. Yet, as this book illustrates, he is the father of some of Christianity’s most profound concepts. The goal of this book is to define the specific themes and concepts that make up Domitian’s religious precepts – in a sense, we are defining the specific Domitian overlay to the Christian materials developed for his brother Titus. In the author's previous book on this topic entitled Unkilling Jesus, he presented analyses to support the thesis that Jesus was a fictional composite of the Emperor Vespasian, and his sons Titus and ...

The purpose of this book is to establish the theory that the apostle Peter is an alias for the Jewish historian Josephus. To support this view, we must connect both names to the Flavians, and in particular, the Roman general Titus. What does it mean that Josephus functioned among the Christians as a man named Peter? Why would he want to be called Peter? Who were his compatriots, his helpers, the men and women who helped him keep up the façade? To answer this, we must examine what facts of reality would have made it possible for him to function as Josephus as a writer of history and Peter ...

As a marketing and sales manager for many years, I have experienced the many permutations involved in sport sponsorship and advertising in general.

Since the first volume, we have also worked to develop funding opportunities in the entertainment industry for agents, marketing companies and concert/party promoters.

These beautiful poetic expressions represent some of Mr. Villegas' youngest thoughts while he lived and traveled to many locations around the world. They range from the romantic to the enlightened.

Sometimes a book just comes together. As I am writing the various sections, I do not always realize how they are supposed to go together. With this book, I was particularly concerned about which chapter should be the first, the chapter that offers a highly positive perspective or the chapter that offers a negative position. In this book, I reverse the general view that many people have about both egoism and altruism. Where many people regard altruism as superior morally, I reverse the tables. In my view it is egoism that is morally superior, and I explain here what is good about egoism and ...

Johnny is a Spanish guitar player with a mysterious past. At a party, he meets the beautiful songstress Aphrodite who is enthralled with his flamenco guitar skills. Later, she learns they have a connection, a particular song they both appear to know. Aphrodite discovers the connection, and through dreams, the two fall in love. The question is whether they will ever be together.

These pages represent two chapters of my recently updated book, The REAL Purpose-Driven Life plus an additional chapter on good versus evil. I removed the afore-mentioned chapters because I wanted to focus, in that book, on the central moral concept known as purpose. These chapters, although central to an understanding of the morality of Ayn Rand, stand on their own and provide several important insights on how to think about morality and apply it to the life of the individual.

This book is Volume 1 of a two-volume work on “How they Wrote the Gospels”. It lays the foundation for many of the ideas presented in the companion “Volume 2” book. Needless to say, I hold that there was a conspiracy of a team of men whose goal was to secretly convert the Roman general Titus into a benign, love-laden Jewish prophet, and to back date him to remove him from the times in which he lived. What these conspirators wanted to do was to preserve the ideas of this Roman general, thought to be so inspiring and important that they didn’t want to lose them and have them buried ...

I see Christianity, as we know it today, as an outgrowth of mostly one mind and one perspective and that is the mind and perspective of Paul the apostle who was the alter-ego for another man who lived and wrote in the AD 80s and AD 90s. What I have discovered is that Paul, in writing about himself, is not writing about philosophy and movements that were later molded into a world religion; he is writing firstly about the very real events in which he participated, and only secondarily about his own singular effort to concoct a new religious perspective.

My goal in this book is to explore the impact of nihilism in society. As I mentioned above, nihilism is the desire to destroy values, and through this process, to destroy civilization. This is no small matter because nihilism seeks to impact all lives currently benefiting from advanced civilization. Nihilism centers around one concept: the desire to destroy human valuing. Today, nihilists are out in force. They own the media, entertainment, politics, education, publication and the Internet. There are virtually no voices against them and those few who fight them are locked out. Twitter "...

This fictional work assumes that Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in his Berlin bunker toward the end of World War II, but instead, was able to survive and escape to South America. This work presents the author’s reflection of the meaning of Nazism and fascism and attempts to extract that meaning from Hitler’s life and final words.

Why did I write this book, and why did I call it EGOnomics? I believe you need to defend your ego against countless efforts to diminish it. Anti-ego ideologies often equivocate between egoism and narcissism and treat both concepts as if they were the same. The proponents of “anti-ego” do not like to witness a person expressing pride and self-regard, or when he is praised for having done something good or beneficial for himself. “Who does he think he is?” they ask. In this book I want to straighten out our understanding of the human ego and I want to give you tools to help you feel ...
