I actually don't find that surprising in the least.Mikey wrote:I actually think I read that sometime a while back. I understand about the "editing" of the Bible at Nicaea, and more importantly the deliberate misinterpretation of the Vulgate by St. Jerome, but these are two fo the four gospels - which purport to account Jesus' life - and they can't even agree on the place of his birth?!

Me neither. As I said earlier:

There was also a finding in Egypt in 1945 of the complete Gospel of Thomas, which contained sayings attributed to the earlier traditions of Christianity. So the Bible was definitely a pick and choose creation, and as such can never be considered to be written by God. If the Bible is the word of God, but men can edit it, can the Bible still be considered the word of God? It can't be considered the truth of God, if you tossed out some parts and kept others.

he went on a rampage, raping women, having consensual sex with men, animals and plants, drunk himself near to death and did everything in his power to defile the bible.

I rather suspect he was giving Mary Magdelane a good screwing. That's if the man ever existed at all, it's not like Jesus is or was an unusual name.

And it's not like messiahs were in short supply back then either.

The Life of Brian is great for making fun of stuff like that.
"I told you, I'm not the messiah!"
"Only the true messiah denies his divinity."
"Well what sort of chance does that give me? Alright then, I am the messiah!"
"He is the messiah!"
"Now, f*ck off!"
"........how shall we f*ck off, oh Lord?"
