    I thought Jesus was born a few years after his official birth year though?

      About 34 years later, yeah. But it was also 40 days after his death. Making Jesus a zombie. Or, alternatively, it makes religion as a whole self admitted bullshit. Your call, christians.

        There are other options besides those two, like not having accurate historical records to know the actual date of birth and death, so that there are lots of conflicting accounts.

        I agree that religion in general is a crock used by charlatans to control people.
        But I suspect that this isn’t the gotcha you think it is, especially because I don’t think that the precise dates really matter to the religion.
