Does Jesus have a child?

[shazeep]

well, i'm not interested in blowing smoke here--who can say that they have proof for anything? But I am fairly convinced, now, that you cannot just make up some fantastic lie, a la "this guy was crucified, and buried, and rose from the dead," and start spreading it around, and have someone come along and write a book about it. It's kind of hard to explain briefly, by suffice it to say that the population existent at the time of the story sort of dictates what can and cannot be propagated.

i remember the study being kind of fascinating for me, because, say, the same populace that might deny Jesus was the Son of God would not verify the false version of His tomb story--i have more concrete examples, that one may not illustrate the point the best; but the point is that you can only fool some of the people some of the time, and a polling of any large # of people on any matter invariably reveals the truth, by %.

Iow, the truth will always, without exception--no matter how esoteric the question is--be revealed in the highest %. So in a sense, our most powerful force, so to speak. I don't mean to say that this proves the existence of Christ or anything--as i wasn't looking for that by then--but that it is impossible to fool all the people all the time. Ok, and this explanation is extremely simplified, there are exceptions for set periods of time, and special cases. But no lie propagates thru the ages.
