Movie will be screened on Nov. 6

HUMANIST ASSOCIATION

The Leisure World Humanist Association will meet on Sunday, Nov. 6, in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, at 10:30 a.m. The group will watch “The God Who Wasn’t There.”

The movie discusses the vast majority of historians and religious scholars who believe Jesus is based on a real person. History has recorded his baptism and crucifixion. People are all familiar with what Jesus looks like, but he is never described. In the Gospels, written by unknown persons, 40-70 years after his death, it is claimed Jesus said certain things, but none of the writers claim to have ever met him. If Jesus had left a written account of his life that would have cleared up many of the contradictions in the Gospels.

After the movie, the group will discuss what level of evidence is necessary for belief.
