    I mean, there probably was a carpenter called Jeshua… But you could probably say the same today.

      This is why I don’t take it seriously.

      Was there a carpenter turned preacher named Jesus in ancient Judea? Sure why not.

      Was there an accountant turned preacher named Bill in 1940s Alabama? Sure why not.

      It’s such a mundane claim it’s not worth taking seriously.
