      Nah I understood your humor. I just find the whole situation amusing. We have less evidence of this guy than any other person whose name we can list the passed 2,500 years or so. Heck we even have a contemporary physical record of Alexander the Great.

      So much effort has been spent on trying to find him and we are in the exact same position we are in when old Albert started it a 100 years ago. All these digs, all this text analysis, all these counter arguments and yet we got nothing.

      The greatest grift in human history. We got atheist scholars who reject 99% of the story but clutch for dear life the remaining 1% unwilling to just rip the band-aid off and admit that they have been had.

        Interesting that the only possible way the origin story could have any truth to it is if Mary cheated, had sex with Joseph before marriage or was raped. And here we are 2000 years later, billions of hard core followers, people 100% convinced that god made a sperm, fully arranged DNA and all, appear out of nothing and inside Mary’s uterus next to or inside her egg, which if it were true is technically god raping Mary. And the religion comes with genius verses like “if the whole world believes a lie, it is still a lie.” Got to give that one some credit. I can only imagine the author giggling to himself and thinking he’s so clever or possibly drank the koolaid which is also scary
