Whats even attractive about Christianity anyway that people want to stay in ignorance
RE: Whats even attractive about Christianity anyway that people want to stay in ignorance
If you read all of Josephus....a task I do not recommend...you'll see that he has no hesitation about discussing the various troublemakers who met a just death at the hands of the authorities. Just as an example, Antiquities of the Jews Book XX, Chapter 8

Quote:5. Now as for the affairs of the Jews, they grew worse and worse continually, for the country was again filled with robbers and impostors, who deluded the multitude. Yet did Felix catch and put to death many of those impostors every day, together with the robbers.

So he's not above mentioning robbers and imposters but someone who breaks up the temple is ignored? You may wish to try to pass this off as merely an argument from silence but if such a sacrilege happened it would have been big fucking news.

And Philo doesn't know about it, either.
