[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I greatly respect all religions. But when Jesus was crucified that was a very public event that did occur. He did get documented in a census. He was a figure in history.

Not doubting other religions. Amazing that folks don't realize he was a living person. Not saying they should believe in any religious aspect of Jesus

Sounds like you've been reading the Bible or listening to your minister, but not looking at academic sources.   There is no documentation of a census or a crucifixion with many people attending. These are stories in the Bible - not documented fact.

Check Wikipedia for info on the census mentioned in the Bible:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Census_of_Quirinius[/quote]

Do you get all your information from collaborative, anonymous sources from openly editable websites? [b]I guess DCUM is about the same.[/b] [/quote]

Not really -- Unlike DCUM, Wikipedia is moderated to assure accuracy and also cites other sources.  DCUM  is a chat board. It does not purport  accuracy  -- it is conversation.[/quote]
Without wishing to pick a fight with you about Wikipedia, but are you aware that wiki has sites from other countries? In their languages?  If I look up Nikola Tesla I can see on wiki.org that he was a Serbian-American scientist. If I look at wiki.sr(Serbia) it says one of most famous Serbian and world inventors. If I look up Croatian wiki, it says he was a Croatian/American scientist... and adds by origin Serbian from Croatia. This is where correction comes, which is better than politicians who claim he was the greatest son of Croatia and  full on Croat. Whose house they burned twice, whose extended family escaped to mountains in Bosnia because they were Orthodox Serbs, and during WWII Croatian Ustasha state had concentration camps to exterminate Serbs, Jews and Roma people. Not Nazi Germans, Croatians. Today they are trying to bury that memory and claim Croats were the ones that were killed by Ustashas. Holocaust museum in NY has the figure of 350K killed by Croats in WWII. This is why Serbs went nuts in 1990s and hence committed ethnic cleansing themselves, with a slogan never again. Now, Croats did kill in 1990s Serbs too and Muslims, BBC footage follows them shooting old men who didn't want to leave their homes in Croatia, BBC also shows Serbs plain killing Muslims while goading them that they will be safe. Serbian wiki writes nothing of Serbian crimes, Croatian wiki writes nothing of Croatian crimes. We can't trust wiki, but it does try to moderate when it can.[/quote]

I find wiki a good, first check on info and it almost always provides further resources. If you don't trust wikipedia, then go to other, better sources to determine if they are saying the same things.  That's what I do.

Anything you see on a message board like DCUM is hearsay and opinion.   It may or may not be accurate and has no requirement to be factual.  Wikipedia is not like that.  It is monitored for accuracy.

I often cite wikipedia regularly provides multiple links to reliable news or academic source for additional information on the subject being discussed.[/quote]
