So, be careful when you assume that all "xtians" believe exactly as you do.
Christians actually don't think too much alike as typified by the large number of denominations.
I haven't met one yet who doesn't think that his godboy came back from the dead and then rose to heaven.
That is the implication of what Tabor is saying....of course his evidence is absurd and he has been soundly thrashed.
Quote:Let me remind you that Cornelius Tacitus lived through the reign of at least four different Roman emperors and earned the reputation as "the greatest historian of his era."
And yet, dear shithead, even with all that NOT A SINGLE ANCIENT WRITER...XTIAN OR OTHERWISE...MAKES THE SLIGHTEST REFERENCE TO THIS ALLEGED PASSAGE. In fact, a bastardized version of it ( without all the Pilate shit) does not show up until the 5th century work of Sulpicius Severus and even he does not mention Tacitus.
Maybe its another one of them fucking miracles, huh?
