    Most historians agree Jesus very likely was a real person. Possibly even an algamation of multiple people.

    However, doesn’t make him the son of God or even a holy entity.

    Most likely he was a highly charismatic person who had a LOT of grievances with both the church and government, and his message turned into a political movement the Romans tried to quench ala Paul and the re-writings of the text at the time.

    We actually have a good chunk of knowledge on Pontius Pilate, who was a real person. A real person who would NEVER wash his hands of executing someone. He was a big fan of it.

    Part of the revision was to eject the Romans from the death of Jesus, and blame the Jewish people, in order to make the movement more palatable to the Roman people. Thus, the story of Pilate “washing his hands” of the matter because he thought Jesus was in fact, a righteous man.

    Jews didn’t crucify people. They stoned them to death.

    Jesus had a lot of criticism of the Roman occupation and was killed by the Romans.

    Decades later when mythology started to surround this human, we see the revisions really kick into high gear

    I don’t think many outside of here do.

    Many people here stay in the place they were born. Even when they hate it. It’s hard moving and leaving everything behind. It’s tough moving to a new part of the country without any contacts.

    I’ve relocated a few times, there’s always a culture shock. You’d think it would be pretty much the same everywhere due to our saturated commercial culture, but it really is different everywhere. Sometimes just a few hours of separation between places can be two completely different worlds

    We’re a nation full of smaller countries, cultures and customs. It’s hard to see that on the outside looking in due to so many of us parroting things online, as well as the media that we distribute throughout the world (movies, tv, music ect)

    But it’s a VAST nation of many different ways of life.
