The Jesus Itinerary

[John V]

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.

Uh, Minnie...as Mark doesn't address the birth at all, neither does he raise questions about it.

What's to respond to? This isn't "history". It's mythology placed in a historical context. Even if there was a "Historical Jesus" of some sort, the Gospels would have as much to do with his history as "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" has to do with the real bio of President Lincoln.

Cool, now you're reduced to a priori rejection.
