- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

The problem is that when you look at the non christian sources like josephus their sources are christian or each other so its sorta a circle jerk. There is no written roman record from the census that bible mentioned that was so important his dad had to go back to Bethlehem. Then also somehow the mass slaughter of little boys is not mentioned. So josephus basically says the chrisitans say there was this guy jesus christ who was crucified. That was his source. He does a detailed life of herod including some fucked up things he did like killing a wife and sons and in a law but never mentions a slaughter of children.
