the gospels are such goofy fake shit when you actually look at it with a critical lens. there's also so much silence regarding the events of the gospels that they have to be fictional. for example, how did the census happen under herod? herod was the jewish king roman client state who was such a bad king rome made the executive decision to have a roman governor rule over judea after he died, which is why there was a famous census at that time. doesn't make sense that this census would take place under herod's reign. also, according to the gospel, the massacre of the infants happened in bethlehem and all regions near it, including a city north of jerusalem. josephus records all the violent and tyrannical ways herod was a terrible king, including all the innocent people he killed. there is not one mention of this nation wide baby massacre, which josephus would have mentioned. the three magi? aside from the fact they only pop up in one gospel which is very suspicious, wouldn't it be huge news that the star of the east moved over bethlehem? this myth was stolen from the birth of augustus caesar by the way, who roman propagandists claimed the same about his birth. not to mention all the ridiculous inaccuracies. like pontius pilate is the "procurator" of judea, when he was the governor of judea.  if you spend some time, you can literally trace all the ways jesus's gospel steals from the old testament and greek mythology. the myth of the water jars turning into wine was a well known myth of dionysus, who in several regions of greece had a famous miracle where priests would put jars of water in a sealed door and the next day they would miraculously become wine. it's such obviously fabricated for anyone with honesty with themselves.
