VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Norman|DATE|1387879740|CONTENT|Carefully avoiding the problem that if Jesus was born when Quirenius was govenor of Syria then he couldn&#039;t have been born when Herod was king and vice versa so demonstrating that the stories of Jesus are totally made up.

So all the religious fighting in the Middle East is just about made up stuff. I have sympathy for the persecuted christians in Syria and Egypt but then there are other religious minorities who are persecuted as well. I think that if Jim thinks the answer is for the religious leaders to say enough it will happen. Teh trouble is that even if it is not a sectarian war the religious leaders of the winning side are secretly (or mabe openly) rubbing their hands in glee.|EMAIL|normhansenster@gmail.com|IP-ADDRESS|217.206.16.3|MODERATIONFLAG|
