An epic propaganda war, allegedly. Enough info to keep pro and contra discussing the subject for another few centuries. Bring beer and snacks and enjoy the 'debate'. "Revealed: the ancient propaganda war that led to the triumph of Christianity New historical research is shedding fresh light on the birth of Christianity as a major religion. Although Christianity had existed since the mid-first century AD, it didn’t become the Roman empire’s main religion until more than 250 years later." www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/revealed-the-ancient-propaganda-war-that-led-to-the-triumph-of-christianity/ar-BB1fGztw

Fascinating. I didn't know that the Pilate's exercise system was so old, or that it had been invented in the Middle East. I presume hanging from a cross is one of its major fitness activities.

A teaser for those who didn't click on the link....."a sex-mad, alcohol-obsessed, debauched serial adulterer". Just a tale of everyday life of an ordinary expat in Thailand then.

Some years ago I tried explaining to the Mrs about the historical virgin birth, resurrection and ascention, and all other stuff about Joshua Bin Yosef. By the end we were as confused as each other.

Had the Missus tried to explain Buddhism, rebirth and such like to you the situation might not have been much different

The ones that live under the river. I was like "yes darling". The usual 2 words that save a marriage.
