    Great post Dasa !!! Thumbs up from me.
    Just thought I would mention that it is written that Alexander the Great was born of a virgin. Virgin birth seems almost common way back when. 😀

    Wow. Apart from the last two sentences that was actually coherent...

    Who are you and what have you done with dasa?
    (still think you should be perma banned for some of the stuff you've already said but
    apparently that's just me).

    And yes you are right.

    The JC character was almost certainly a made up fusion of different myths from around
    that time.

    With so many different versions around,

    how do you know that your version is right RJ?

    What little piece of Disneyland theatre convinces you
    that you have the right version?

    Correct. Of course, it matters little to any who have vested so much in one particular version. Personally, I like Luke Skywalker's. 😀

    Yes, when one accepts the truth, then other versions are only entertainment. 😏

    except when it comes to religion there is no truth, only a pack of spam, snake oil salesmen and those hungry for power using religion as a weapon to get converts.

    Perhaps I was born of a virgin too, then. 😀
