Funny how we're skeptical of just the things that have little evidence. If Nazareth is ever confirmed to be a community that the proposed Jesus of history could have lived in, there are a host of other problems with the story (the slaughter of the innocents being one of the biggest). It's no skin off my nose if Nazareth is real, if archaeology confirms it, I'll happily turn my hat to the 'Nazareth was real then' side. And that's EVEN if you're right about my motive being to deny Jesus. Your claims about other people's motives is one of the main things that makes you an asshat, btw.
I do not have to claim others motives they make it quite clear on this forum every day, so your assumption about me is entirely wrong. If you are speaking of those male children that were killed by Herod then you need to back up and take a look at that atheist man, He wasn't a believer just a pretender to satisfy Rome, no more no less. That was a atheist decision because He was scared of being dethroned, if He believed in God he would have known it wouldn't matter what he did God's will would prevail, as it did.

And recall God can deceive whom He chooses:
2 Thessalonians 2 (KJV)
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Chronicles 18 (KJV)
22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
1 Kings 22 (KJV)
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
Jeremiah 20 (KJV)
7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
Ezekiel 14 (KJV)
9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
I have no idea how you see those verses applying to what I posted, seems petty to me because you have no understanding of the scriptures, you just google and post. Two of those verses are from the same story.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
