Who should really care about him in particular so much to this day if it weren't simply for the fact that he's in the bible?
Its like Bill Hicks said: "[...]People say "Bill, quit talking about Kennedy man. It was a long time ago, just let it go, alright? It's a long time ago, just forget it." I'm like, alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talking shelf life here..."
Look at your avatar.

He said my narrative is a Christian version of what happened at the beginning of Christianity but has little to do with historic accuracy.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? I gave a brief history of the pre Christian Sabbath and pointed out that, though it was scriptural to observe the sabbath if one chose, it wasn't law. With a brief aside regarding the apostate churches sabbath.
I don't like it when someone says shit like "What Daystar says is only a part of it - he missed the rest of the stuff and got this or that wrong etc" without not only offering the alternative but even explaining or backing their opinion.
I didn't really explore the historic accuracy - so what is it?

Perhaps that is why it is so difficult for you to explain the historic inaccuracies etc.

You're full of shit.
