It is in fact the rest of the ancient world that decided to ignore a census that our Lord recorded in Luke's Gospel.By now you've heard many possible explanations for Luke's wording. Would Luke have recorded a census if there wasn't one?

Cognitive dissonance my friend. Luckily for you (and unluckily for the world) you will do anything to find an explanation for your faith's shortcomings in order to save your beliefs instead of seeing it for what it is: a fraudulent bunch of made up lies, courtesy of dishonest Christians.
