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? That's like you claiming there was a president between Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon named Johnny Cool. Any fool could look it up and your story would lose credibility. Instead, history shows us that people believed Luke's account, as early as 60AD, which is why Christianity exploded in the way that it did.
I am finding it hard to accept that you could be as stupid as you sound...but you are convincing me.
No one heard of "Luke's" account until Irenaeus named it so....at the end of the 2d century AD. Try...just once...to get your head out of your ass.
