Did Jesus have a cunt too?

Jesus may have been a hermaphrodite, claims academic[^] "she argues that it is not possible to know “with any certainty” that Jesus did not suffer from an intersex condition, with both male and female organs. " Yeah, he might have been black or even Welsh too....
============================== Nothing to say.
That was the stupidest thing I've ever read. It's wrong to call her an academic - she's a theologian, which is basically the opposite. A real academic would have come to the conclusion that Jesus probably didn't exist.

There's a fair amount of historical documentation from around that period that suggests that a preacher called Jesus did exist.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but no, there isn't. There is nothing that has been reliably shown to have existed during his lifetime or even near his lifetime that mentions him. The Romans were meticulous with documenting executions, and no such record of Jesus. They even recorded huge amounts of vacuous gossip, but they didn't even bother to mention Jesus, who had supposedly garnered a massive following by that point. Nazareth, where he supposedly was born, wasn't recorded until something like 200 AD - it's been speculated that this is because it was too small to be noteworthy, but the Biblical story in which Mary has to go to Nazareth 'to be counted' requires that it have a synagogue, and any town with a synagogue was automatically noteworthy enough to be mentioned, since a synagogue required certain expensive and rare holy texts in order to BE a synagogue.

He is said to have been born in Bethlehem, a town of David. Joseph, being of the House of David, is said to have had to travel there with Mary for the census. As to the existence of Joheshua or Joshua, I consider it more likely that a Jewish cult was built around an historical charismatic preacher, and grew, via Saul, to become the religion we know today.

Now that you have had your rant, please feel free to read what I actually said, not what you think I said. Did I say that he was a Nazarene? Did I say he was executed? Or did I say there was a preacher by this name? You might want to slow down there kiddo. Take a look at Flavius Josephus, who mentions Jesus in his antiquities of the jews, written in the first century.

Actually, Josephus is widely accepted. The disputed parts are to do with what looks to be amendments to support the crucifixion. There is also supporting documentation from Pliny to Trajan and the imperial biographer Seutonius.

You mean like in the other post. People seem to be under the misapprehension here that I am referring to the bible. Again, perhaps people really need to read what I said, rather than what they think I have said. Honestly, the atheists and the religionists are both as bad as each other when it comes to seeking offence in comments.

Well, OK, it's possible that there was a guy with a very common name who lived around 2000 years ago and who told people what to do, but who bears no deeper resemblance to the Christian Jesus.

His statements on Jesus are considered fairly suspect, given that they are inconsistent and even contradictory with his other writings and with his personality as documented by other writers at the time. He was not a Christian, but the passages about Jesus are excessively laudatory for a Pharisaic Jew. Also, no early Christians writers cite those passages, which they almost certainly would have done if they had supported Christianity.

As well as a number of other mystics carrying out miracles and preaching. In fact there was one a lot more popular that out mate Mr J. Seems his cult got luck when a Roman tax collector had a brain annurism....

... prety much everything. Heck, we even have 4 accounts of Alexanders life! Not to mention Roman accounts of Sodomy and recipes. After such tawdryness you would think nailing the son of god to a tree would rate a foot note or two! :)

You said: "There's a fair amount of historical documentation from around that period that suggests that a preacher called Jesus did exist." You didn't mention the bible and neither did I - it's worthless fiction at best. Provide the evidence to which you refer - don't care where it comes from as long as it is provable and it isn't about offence - that is you deflecting from having said something you can't back up and are now trying to wriggle out of - good luck with that! :-)

Ok, perhaps three sources isn't enough for you, but I have given three independent sources from around that period. There was no attempt to "wriggle out" as you well know.
