That explains a lot.

My money is on @Livvy on the left and @GermanRed on the right.

The significance one might attribute to Jesus will vary, but he definitely existed. His followers curated lots of evidence and wrote down eye witness accounts that would come to be compiled as the New Testament, in just the same way that followers of other historic figures in antiquity wrote down accounts too. It is remarkable that this happened for someone born in poverty in an obscure place.

Even if the thousands of pieces of Biblical evidence were to be dismissed out of hand, as it is the work of insiders/followers, the article above does a decent job of introducing extra-Biblical evidence for the existence of Jesus.

(I won’t write another post on this subject as this is the joke thread, and we have a religion thread somewhere).

The date of Jesus’ birth is not known. People try to make a case for this or that, but it is not known. Dec 25 was probably chosen as a convenient time to mark the occasion, piggy backing on the Roman holiday of Saturnalia, which itself piggy backed on the even older celebration of the winter solstice.

The most conclusive documentary I’ve seen on the missing years (includes some quips making it suitable for this thread).
