during Yuletide, a season that, stripped of Christian significance, has taken on a meaning all its own.
I'm not sure if the author noticed the irony.
I smell the makings of an isekai..
Isn't history incompatible with fiction?
Jesus was a historical figure. That is the mainstream historical consensus.
And he spent his youth in India.
And was crucified but did not die on the cross and is buried in a tomb in Lahore.
No. That is incorrect.
no u
Can you provide any evidence of your claims?
A guy from Lahore told me.
What you got?
About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.

Anything regarding religious lore sounds batshit insane to me.
The fact that a man named Yeshua, who likely had an affiliation with the Essenes and claimed to be a Jewish Messiah, existed is not a controversial claim in academic circles.
The existence of this man does not mean that he was a divine figure, nor that he performed miracles. He, like John the Baptist, was one of many such figures acting in response to the Roman occupation of Judea and subjugation of the Jewish people at that time.
Claiming that he did not exist is pseudohistory.
