Life of Brian

Post #1

Leaving aside for the minute some of the more preposterous (funnier) scenes in Monty Pythonn's classic "Life of Brian", could there be a grain of truth in the case for mistaken identity (wrong place, wrong time) regarding the actual events surrounding the Biblical Jesus?

I suggest reviewing threads "the historical validity of Jesus" and "conspiracy theory". We covered this topic in great depth under those headings.
It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

Apologies, keeping track of every topic is nearly impossible.

Thanks.
