First of all let me ask YOU this, Who is Hegessipus that we should place any credence in him? He is identified by some as a Greek convert others as a Jewish convert and some have even claimed that he is a heretic that translated Apollonius' manuscripts taken from the Hindus of India into Greek in the second century. One group even claims that Hegessipus intended to replace the worship of Christ as the central figure of Christianity with the worship of Apollonius!
No you will have to do better than that to stir up trouble around here.
I SUGGEST you touch on the subject of lights, fog machines and the veil if you really want to get a rise around here.
Just my opinion, valuable as it is.
