Why Didn't Jesus Write?

[Aegon]

What scholars point out and which jesus freaks ignore freely is that the various gospel scribblings were written in Greek by well-educated and highly sophisticated Greek speakers living in different places and different times.  The notion that this was some sort of "peasant movement" is preposterous on its face.  Ignorant peasants ekeing out a subsistence living would have had no time for jesus' bullshit.  They'd have been too busy trying not to starve.

To be honest, a group of poor, miserable peasants sounds like the group that a messiah figure would appeal to.
