Do you understand the difference between "never existed" and "rage of the Ancient World".
About 70 million people died in WWII. Just because most Americans don't know their names doesn't mean they never existed....despite the lies of nazi fuckwads like Legion claiming 6 million of those fatalities never happened.

"What does the Gospel of Mary say?

“The Gospel of Mary is about inter-Christian controversies, the reliability of the disciples' witness, the validity of teachings given to the disciples through post-resurrection revelation and vision, and the leadership of women.”
Gospel of Mary - Wikipedia"
So ... who got to pick and choose what went into the 'Bible'?
No storyline I guess. LOL
I like books of sayings and short stories.

The servant returned and said to his master, 'Those whom you invited to the dinner have
asked to be excused.' The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and bring
back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine.' Businessmen and
merchants will not enter the places of my father."

What if the real history was destroyed or hidden?
It is what it is. Legends grow. Like pebbles in the water, people create ripples in history. Those ripples can be backtracked to a fact that something emotionally powerful happened in Jerusalem around Friday, April 3, 33 A.D. and it still resonates in the 21st century.
People can argue divinity all day long, but the ripples created back then have had a far reaching effect on the world. Only a fucking moron believes nothing happened.

"There is very little written about Jesus' early life. The Gospel of Luke (2:41-52) recounts that a 12-year-old Jesus had accompanied his parents on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and became separated. He was found several days later in a temple, discussing affairs with some of Jerusalem’s elders. Throughout the New Testament, there are trace references of Jesus working as a carpenter while a young adult. It is believed that he began his ministry at age 30 when he was baptized by John the Baptist, who upon seeing Jesus, declared him the Son of God."

Seems like a typical person ... until he runs into this 'John' guy.
