To be honest Min I was just reading it - it reads like a Jewish story (so does most of Matthew). I never ventured into its origins, who Mark was and all that - I just read it.
Shocked the shit out of me to be honest. There's only one non-Jew in the whole thing mentioned specifically (but not by name) and Jesus comes out of that one looking a bit of a cunt to be honest.
I can honestly say it was the last thing I was expecting. I just wanted the story as its not a religion I was brought up in and the little I knew was from TV, movies, Christian friends and cultural icons.
Took me a long time to come to terms with what I read - now I just put it down to the inherent schizophrenia enforced on Christians by the conflicts in their own religion.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
