You know, Randy... This women thing really gets to me.
Learn about Livia, Augustus' wife.
Learn about Nefertiti and Cleopatra, of Egypt.
How could such women become as great as they have, if the culture was so against them as you wish to depict it?
Or the culture in Israel was that different from the civilized Rome and Egypt? And it was among the uncivilized that your god chose to make himself known, huh? What a way to make itself known!
On another point of view, all we have is a tale that a guy was crucified, entombed and then that tomb was find empty... couldn't the empty tomb thing be an embellishment?
Consider the possibility that the Romans just tossed the body to rot, as min says they did all the time. And a few decades later, some people show up claiming that the tomb of a long crucified person had been found empty... How would the Romans respond if not with a "fuck off", which would not deny the claim nor would it prevent it from spreading.
It all comes back to the fact that this claim showed up decades after the alleged fact.
It's not history.
Your Jesus, the one that got crucified, could have been the teacher... And that would have happened decades before it allegedly did, rendering the claims more than a century too late.
