Do you really think it all began with a sanctimonious Jewish wonder-worker, strolling about 1st century Palestine? Prepare to be enlightened. There were many Jesuses but the fable was a cultural construct (and, by the way, following a star would lead you in circles). WAS THERE A Jesus? Of course…

by Revilo P. Oliver AMONG THE innumerable rackets and swindles that flourish in the rotting country that once was ours, one, of which I have just heard, invites comment.
