10/31/2023 0 Comments Musonius rufus![]() It's hard to place Musonius on the high pedestal that Carrier does. So clearly he couldn't have made the impact Jesus did, whose Jewish cult survived despite persecution. Yet Musonius was forgotten! Despite having been the teacher of a philosopher, Epictetus, who himself taught one of the more famous and well-respected by pagan or Christian emperors: Marcus Aurelius. He exemplifies the sort of man who should have been venerated and made the founder of a world religion, but was not, yet he was the moral superior in my opinion to Jesus-not perfect, but admirable within the context of his own day. The main points are basically that Musonius' morality is better and that his instructions are clearer.
