Did Jesus exist?

[Pat Mustard]

Actually the whole census narrative was shoehorned in pos hoc to get Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem for the birth (to fulfill prophesy).

Did you ever read that "prophecy," Constable? 

Micah 5 and it is about someone who would defeat the Assyrians in the late 8th century BC.  Has nothing to do with fucking "jesus."

Micah 5King James Version (KJV)
5 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

BTW,  didn't work.  The Assyrians kicked the living shit out of the israelites.  Relegated them to the dustbin of history.  So much for fucking "prophecy."

You know that, I know that (sorry for not making it clear), but did the anonymous bible writers and their later "correctors" know that? Don't be silly of course they didn't, they just used something they thought could apply to their low rent Superman, and shoehorned it in like goodo.
