My favorite part of this is "where tradition says Jesus was born." Not history, not facts, not etchings on tables buried in the desert, not the words of the local goatherder...but tradition. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius  (November 30, 2019 at 6:38 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote: I don't doubt that, with a good enough cover story, I could convince the Church that one of the scraps from my woodshop is a bit of Jesus' first tricycle. I have a block of myrtle wood. Maybe we can join up and get possession of a golden chalice or something in trade?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
And what about Jesus' manager? Where do they keep his bones?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
