Mary's 10 Year Pregnancy!

......He was succeeded by Publius Quinctilius Varus to whom fell the responsibility of crushing the revolts which broke out on the death of Herod the Great. Varus did so. ...... The prolongation of a command was an old Roman tradition. They did not replace a successful commander in the middle of a war. They weren't stupid.

Really? Did Augustus still think he wasn't stupid for preserving Varus' career in middle of wars 9 years later?

DON'T FEED THE FUNDIES.

Donald Trump has been rich for decades. If I write a book 10 years from now claiming I know him, and Claiming we met at the White House with George W Bush, and claimed Trump gave me 5 million dollars, because the White house is real, Bush is real, and I am real, and Trump is real, it must mean I have 5 million dollars.

I hate arguing history of holy books. OF COURSE they are going to mention real people and real places. It is easy to insert real places and real people AFTER THE FACT. But that will never make virgin births or meteorites(Mecca) in Arab deserts magical things.

We know New York is a real city, but no sane person believes in Superman because movies have been made about him depicting the character flying around the city.

The reality is that "Jesus" was a common name back then. Just like Smith and Jones. The reality is that all it was was a splinter sect of Jews who hated old social norms and centered around a "martyr" motif. Everyone likes an underdog. Unfortunately for our species that "underdog" motif sold. Since then it has spawned Islam and Mormons and Scientology, which simply create more bullshit superstition and more human division.
