Plus the fact that Jesus wasn’t a real person, but a complete fabrication.

I go with Hitchens' take; the ridiculous census that's shoehorned in seems like an effort to reconcile a real person with the prophecies. Jesus was likely a real person whose life has been exaggerated and built upon to the point of legend.

I’ll post this twice to address different replies.

Very interesting lecture and the guy says no one has provided any proof that there was in fact a real person called Jesus at the time. All the ‘proof’ relies on other people claiming that there’s proof / and or pointing to the Bible.

Yes I’ve just read the Wikipedia link you’ve posted but it doesn’t actually point to non-religious sources. All these things are like the Spider-Man meme.

AFAIK there are no Roman administration records of Pontius Pilate executing sone dude called Jesus.

It’s all made up later on.
