The Time Problem With A Mythical Jesus

problems:the basis of judging fact were different as were the means to record events, there were no newspapers or other means of mass communication, so the best way to do it in that time frame is to move outa town -- go to Rome say.the cult of Mithraism was flourishing at the time
300 Multiple Choicesthe parallels are stunning, but this cult predates the christian story by several hundred years.Now if I want to start a new cult and gather a lot of followers ...

your point of magic in the air is valid. there were also a lot more cults available to mix things up as well.don't worry about triple checking Faux News, a single check is usually enough to show their bias.a survey showed that conservatives generally trust Faux compared to the others, but still rated it under 50% trustworthy. Liberals rated NPR\PBS the highest and trusted news more than conservatives. Liberals were also more likely to check their results ...heh.

gosh thanks (blushes) It goes further than that -- it shows that different factions within the US are getting their source of "facts" from sources splitting off into similar factions as they cater to their audiences, a divergence that will become accelerated, imho, until one no longer believes the other on anything. Two (or more) divergent societies living in the same geographical area but on different political continents. Possible even two "nations" if you will. How will that work?
