Bible Lesson: The Death of Jesus an Evolving Myth

[Crossless2.0]

I especially like the changes from one Gospel to another in the depiction of the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus and in the baptism narratives themselves. As Minimalist mentioned, the standard Christian reading of the Gospels results in an unwarranted (and irresponsible) conflation of these books, resulting in nonsense as they try to square the different accounts. To paraphrase Nietzsche, Christianity has done more to propagate the art of reading badly than virtually any other school or movement in Western history.
