"Jesus" was a common name in the middle east where there are no people named Jesus today?
In fact, the only places where people are named Jesus are those of Mexican descent.
You are as bad as those who think the biblical Jesus is white.
Seriously.
I don't want to get involved in the whole "Jesus never existed" argument because history is not my field of expertise, but this argument is a bit flawed.
What he meant to say was that the name 'Jesus' was particularly common among ancient Jews. The fact it's not that common anymore shouldn't be surprising.
Also the Middle East was conquered by Muslims.
Shit, here in Italy, during the Roman period the most popular name was most likely 'Gaius'. Cultures change and so do names >.< I doubt anyone would call their son "Gay" in one of the most homophobic countries in Europe in this day and age
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
