As fantasies go, this guy dreams big

"Liberal Professor Says He Would Assassinate Jesus If He Was Sent Back In Time".

Check out this clown's photo at the linked story. M'y-e-s, that's exactly what he would look like, no surprise there.

H/T to friend and commenter Gregory's excellent blog, The mind is an unexplored country.

Sad that a lot of his critics assumed his name was Jewish - it seems to have a Danish northern England origin.

Meanwhile the Romans actually DID kill Jesus, and then were the ones who spread His message all around the world, more or less. Because crucifixion is totally a Roman thing. Things like that are a reason historians generally believe the Gospels are based on a real person, the details are just too odd and specific to have been made up.

I follow this site, it's really good and always an interesting read:

But I also know that mainstream historians generally do accept that Jesus existed, for all sorts of typical history reasons. Those guys on the radio who argue 'Jesus did not exist' aren't representative of historians generally. You can also argue that Shakespeare didn't exist, and some do, for example.

Bruce, those people who think Jesus did not exist are on the same level as the people who think the moon landing was faked -- they believe (or say that they believe) what feels good to them.

It doesn't sound like a Jewish name to me, it sounds like a Mad Magazine name, and a Mad Magazine philosophy.

Yeah Jeffs. You know who may have been first in with the moon landing 'hoax' theory? The Hare Krishnas. They believe only yogis can travel to 'heavenly planets' which they say the moon is.

Their guru was watching it live on TV in '69 and saying 'fake, fake'. And they had to believe everything he said (he had this book, 'Easy Journey to Other Planets' - if you're a yogi that is, he says).

Then the Hare K's had lots of friends in Hollywood - see them in Blazing Saddles and other movies. Then out comes the movie Capricorn One. Coincidence? :-)
