Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven can be likened to a diffident TV repairman who reads a graffiti on a washroom wall. Perturbed, he returns to his workbench and confesses: 'master, I have seen a philosopher's writ on the wall of the john, saying "if you read this you are a knuckle-head" '. And the master asks, "How do you know it was a philosopher who wrote that ?". And the apprentice answers, "it is so, master, for I am afraid it is true". Verily, I say to you, those of little faith who come to me will hardly find relief in me. Jiri |

I skimmed it too, but I don't know what you mean when you say it's pathetic. Are you saying that his claims required special pleading, or possibly inadequate support? Were they rehashed comments on thoughts already held?

I have read the information provided by the site and I agree with it fundamentally. There is no historical reference by any historian in the 1st century of a Jesus, son of Mary and the Holy Ghost, as described in the NT.

![]() A proper response is going to require more of my undivided attention than I give it right now. I have a history paper due on Friday. Fortunately, it's almost done, so I should be able to address your questions sometime before the end of the week. |
