You think Jesus was in a manger for two years?
Huggy, I think "jesus" is a fictional character in a story which was invented in the 2d century.
Except no real historians think the same as you do...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus
Quote:Virtually all New Testament scholars and Near East historians, applying the standard criteria of historical investigation, find that the historicity of Jesus is effectively certain although they differ about the beliefs and teachings of Jesus as well as the accuracy of the details of his life that have been described in the gospels. While scholars have criticized Jesus scholarship for religious bias and lack of methodological soundness, with very few exceptions such critics generally do support the historicity of Jesus and reject the Christ myth theory that Jesus never existed.
You know, more and more your posts tend to resemble the ravings of a lunatic...

Through simple reading comprehension one would realize that the Magi were the only ones to witness the "star". If anyone was capable of seeing it, why did Herod need directions to where Jesus was, when he could of just simply followed the star?
