The Jesus Itinerary

[max-greece]

He doesn't understand that this is a spiritual gift to man, it's not a history book, was never intended to be a history book.

Well, the moment the majority of Christians admit all this, my work is done. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the prevailing view.

Now that's a very unfair condition. You can't get the majority of Christians to agree on anything very much.

True story:

On a trip round Israel with my wife we visited the site of the crucifixion. There are several churches set up around there - each claiming to be the actual site.

Anyway we went to the Greek Orthodox one and my wife decided she wanted to light a candle - OK - whatever. The Greek Orthodox shop that sold candles was closed to we went to the one next door - the Coptics.

When they realised we wanted to light a candle in the Greek Orthodox Church they refused to sell us one. She was about to kick up an enormous fuss when she was totally undermined by me. I started to laugh like a hyena and in the end she had to carry me out of the shop - without a candle.

Get Christians to agree? Please, no, my ribs can't take it.
