  • You are the one who is doing the misinforming. All of the sources you mention, except Josephus, were written up to more than a century after his supposed existence. With Josephus being written around half a century after his existence.

    And as mentioned, the specific quotes from Josephus are of a dubious nature.

  • No, OPs question was perfectly fine, because it is necessary to stress the fact that we have not a single contemporary primary source that Jesus existed. So adding extra parameters is pretty pointless, since we cannot convincingly answer whether he actually existed, much less whether he was a religious figure. Scholars have reached a conjectural consensus that a Jesus in some form likely existed, but it is a consendus based on congecture and circumstantial evidence in the form of later secondary sources.

  • Completely unlikely since no such census records are extant.

    People who are jnfamilhar with the historiography are very much overestimating the amount of primary source material which exists from the Roman Empire, simply because historians have been very good at extracting information from the miniscule fraction (relative to the amount which was produced) of extant written sources we do have from the period.

  • It is not "cold political analysis" at all. She is still simping for Trump morons, by pretending anything connecting to Hunter Biden is somehow important for Biden voters. It is just Fox News pathetic attempt at trying to mitigate the Hunter Biden slander lawsuit.
