Someone found on Huffington post. Had to break it up to three parts.

Not having read the bible much...too confusing a plot.. Had to look up James. As usual, they mess up in English. He was either a son of Joseph or:

James, along with the others named "brethren" of Jesus, could also have been Jesus' cousins. This claim is justified by the fact that cousins were also called "brothers" and "sisters" in Jesus' postulated native language, Aramaic, which, like Biblical Hebrew, does not contain a word for cousin.[wiki]

Not only is it a myth, it is mistranslated.

Ever notice they claim descent from David for Jesus by the FATHER'S lineage? I didn't know God was descended from some Jewish king.

Its confusing. Both Bethlehem and Nazareth were one donkey towns. No Inn, no stars in Michelin guide.

Maybe the Romans hadn't gotten around to putting in proper roads yet. First the roads, then the inns.

"What have the Romans ever done for us?"

This would also be the only time in history that the Romans told people to return to the place of their birth for a census. Forget the skewed data, that many people moving around would have produced chaos in the Middle East.

Oh, wait...

Oh, I'm not so completely ignorant of this smart phone business.

I suppose I should have realised that with zillions of apps, there are bound to be plenty that are the product of sick and twisted minds.

Amazon book review of the week:

Scott Guthery (Boston, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: A Universe from Nothing: Why There
Is Something Rather than Nothing (Hardcover)
If you happen to be from New York or California you'll probably enjoy
this book, not for the science but for the constant ridicule that the
author heaps on the world's religions and people from the midwest. If
you are at all religious or from the midwest (or, God forfend, both),
it is the author's view that you are too stupid to understand the book
so you'll have to make your own decision.
