Quote:Except that the Gospels were likely all written within 100 years of Jesus's birth (70 years of His death), which is very little time for stories like that to be corrupted by people who wanted to give the OT false credibility.
Within 10 years of George Washington's death stories grew up of him throwing silver dollars across the Potomac and never telling lies.

These stories were horseshit but they did find their way into American folklore. Please do not pretend to understand history if you don't.
