Wow. You're a glutton for punishment. We're used to dealing with this collection of fools but you're a newcomer. I'm impressed with your stamina!
Haha, I try to give both sides some respect as to their argument. Now, obviously I'm against the religious theories but still; I try to be as unbiased as possible to the arguments themselves... least up until the point that it's simple mindless back peddling and denials.
For example, can't count how many times theists deliberately ignored the Herod-Quirinius paradox. Herod was alive at one time, Quirinius at another. A big problem in terms of the "accuracy" of the texts and depending on which one you choose, the purpose of the Manger, Bethlehem or fleeing to Egypt at all loses foundation.
Anyways. Onward!
