Quote:The manger and the shepherds are part of Luke's story, not Matthew's.
The two stories don't sync. That's my point.
The reason the stories do not sync is because these two schmucks set them a minimum of 10 years apart. Whether there were sheep or goats shitting on the floor and whether or not the shepherds were fucking them is irrelevant to the greater problem.
These stories were later concoctions to answer questions raised by the original story....known as mark since the late 2d century.... which did not address any of this silly shit at all.
