Jesus was probably born in Nazareth, the tiny village he grew up in. But no one has any real idea.
The entire Christmas story is made up, as any serious religious historian will tell you - to include where Jesus was born, the date of his birth, the manger, the wise men, and the star of David. There are two Bethlehem's within 150 miles of each other and there is no evidence, at all, that Jesus was ever in either one of them. Jesus was dark skinned, with short to mid-length hair as was the style in his day. He looked like the sort of people Trump tries to prevent from coming to the US not the white long hair whose portrait is to be found hanging in most European and US churches.
The amount of utter nonsense enshrined in the myths of Jesus by modern day Christians is nothing short of breath taking. What’s even more astounding? The average christian today has little to no real knowledge of Jesus or even the new and/or old testaments.
Christians personal religious beliefs are based almost entirely in superficial myths taught to them as children. Indoctrinated and programmed using techniques not dissimilar to Hitler youth programs these Christians grew up asking few if any questions. And despite living in a country where knowledge and the means and time to acquire it abound, most do not bother to properly inform themselves.
And I'm supposed to respect that? Am I supposed to respect their ‘faith’ that they themselves know almost nothing about?
