Like my philosophy prof said today...the oldest and most successful institution in the world, The Catholic Church. Tsk tsk tsk. It boggles the mind how myth could so profoundly affect and skew reality.

(There is, of course, no historical evidence that any
such person ever existed. Christopher Hitchens,
while acknowledging this, concluded that the apparent
fabrications in the New Testament -- moving the place
of birth from Nazareth to Bethlehem to accord with
prophecy, and then concocting a Roman census that never
actually took place to explain the relocation, for example --
are **themselves** circumstantial evidence that **somebody**
may well have existed upon whom the stories were based.
In any case, that there might have been a "deluded
rabbi" at the time is no more surprising than
that there are such guru wannabes today.)
