VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Dinah|DATE|1371646795|CONTENT|Rhidian gives us the usual propaganda story about the ‘umbleness of Jesus and his ‘umble background.  Well, if you discount the proliferation of angels proclaiming his birth, his own guiding star in the heavens, visits from the mystical wise/wise mysticals with assorted expensive gifts, Herod getting his knickers in such a twist about Jesus’s arrival that he kills all the infants in the vicinity, a moonlit flit into Egypt, yes, apart from all these, it was a pretty ordinary, run-of-the-mill start in life. (Or perhaps you think all these phenomena are legendary, Rhidian?  Tut-tut.) 

As for proclaiming oneself to be the Son of God with the ability to arrange accommodation in heaven for those who follow one – well, it’s all pretty modest stuff.  Ironically, this supposed embodiment of non-violence is most celebrated for the violent manner of his death: indeed, without it he would probably not have attained his heroic, superman status.|IP-ADDRESS|79.71.117.6|MODERATIONFLAG|
