Although Christians across the world believe strongly in his death as having cleansed them of their sins among others, some unbelievers often discredit the doctrine.
An American journalist Taylor Lorenz is the latest to have attacked the founder of Christianity, claiming that he faked his own death in order to become famous.
Her comment was in response to Pope Francis the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State who resorted to social media to eulogise Jesus Christ and his mother, holy Mary.

Writing on his social media page, Pope Francis said: “With her ” yes”, Mary became the most influential woman in history. Without social networks, she became the first ” influence,” the “influnder” of God. #Panama2019″.
This was what triggered the wrath of Taylor Lorenz, and she attacked the credibility of Jesus Christ in a manner that could be described as blasphemous.
“Jesus literally faked his own death for more followers though so,” the journalist said.
It may be excusable if any ordinary Antichrist makes such a claim, but being a media personality, it is not clear if Taylor Lorenz has got any fact to back her claim.
Meanwhile, some twitter users have disagreed with her, warning that the comments are in bad taste and may be hurtful to Christians.
