Apparently you believe this. Apparently you will believe any mild boggling clap trap--including a tibetan religion which did not exist in fact 2000 years ago. You will believe anything except what the people who lived each day with hi, saw him die, saw him dead, and saw him resurrected, and then saw him leave in the air said. And every one of these persons died horrible deaths rather than deny one sentence of the facts in the Bible. When you have something of even the weakest possible historical fabric, even the tiniest thread of an old written history or papyrus from Egypt, you'll have a better chance finding converts to the new theory that Jesus sought wisdom from the people His father told everyone else to stay away from, and at the top of the high mountains and across the deserts of Asia--was this BEFORE or AFTER studying the black arts in Egypt? Have you no intellectual integrity? To presume anyone who knows even a mouse-brain amount of history would find this myth even remotely plausible? You surprise me, Terrance. Let's graduate to high school junior, at least. I mean, come on, you have SOME graduate school, don't you? You don't? Then you will find that the "tibetan" religion, and the llama thing, and all the 60s trip just wasn't happening then. I hardly believe there was even a sparcely inhabited Tibet. At best it was a handful of tent dwellers. Islam didn't happen for another 700 years. So the theory of these advanced religious "monks" in their temples recording the travels of a wandering Jew take this into a religious Mad Magazine. Bill Gaines would howl, and he's an atheist Jew. Oh, I'm sorry. You "saw this manuscript with your own eyes". Gosh, did you have to learn ancient Tibetan so long gone there is no record of it left, or did you do a quick brush up through Berlitz? Let's have a little respect for the human brain here, please. No one alive today, hardly, can read medieval FRENCH, for pete sake, and you're telling me you saw a non-existant ancient writing in a language more obscure than ancient sanscrite and READ it for veracity? As to can attest to "its" authenticity? This is too much. But so is my spelling, which seems too embarrassing to live with sometimes, and too time consuming to correct. By the way, I'm going to research the lavish civilization of Tibet, complete with bored scribes waiting to record the deeds of strangers they cannot understand one single word they speak. Truly this is insane discussion. You're mixing up the l3th century with the eariest of the first. In the l3th you might have had me going there for a second, but only on the possiblity that any monk there wrote anything, period.
