    Children are well known for their patience, as are religious folks for their critical thinking.

      Oh the book was written by “James, the brother of Jesus” from an earlier marriage of joseph who was never mentioned at any point ever.

      Literally just christian fanfic by a self insert mary sue oc. Humanity has never changed since the dawn of time.

        Nahhh, James was probably there with the historical Jesus (who’s actual father was probably a Roman soldier, and Joseph probably married Mary to “save her the shame” of being an unwed mother). If you want the self-insert fanfic, that’s all of Paul’s writings.

        And, let’s not forget that the vast majority of it was shamelessly lifted whole-cloth from previous works by other cultures… 🤷🏼‍♂️
