    This should be asked in a religious group as it is a book written by a human and the only thing historical is the book it self and actions caused by the interpretations of said book.

    Unless you’re talking about the act of putting thorns on people who were crucified.

    It is a book of fiction as are all books that deal with the super natural

      Exactly what I am asking about the thorns on who were crucified. Jesus just seems the all around figure.

        Jesus is still a work of fiction. You were specifically asking about a work of fiction.

        Could habe easily used Jesus as an example but ya went much further.

        Leave religion to the idiots that believe in it. This isn’t the place

          The piece of fiction has enormous historical relevance, and depends on the greater historic context of the time. You could easily ask similar questions from a historical perspective about Don Quixote or Jane Eyre.
