Jesus was born, um, somewhere around this time

RE: Jesus was born, um, somewhere around this time
Not to mention the simple geopolitical fact that in 36 AD John would have been a citizen of Judaea ( and thus a subject of Pontius Pilate ) while Antipas was tetrarch of Galilee. It would be a bit like an American criticizing the wife of the President of France because his wife was a porn star...or whatever. Who'd care?

However, if this gospel bullshit was written at a much later time when the memories of the political division of Palestine into separate tetrachies had faded then it makes some sense that the fiction writer who penned these gospels might have gotten that part totally wrong. It would also explain "Luke's" obvious mistake in having citizens of Galilee journey all the way to fucking Bethlehem for a census which did not involve their country in the slightest.
