the fact that the majority of the world jumps when you say 'god' is traced back to one guy.

constantine, this is the one man that made christianity the official religion rome thus masking the beliefs of people until the reformation a literal hell.. oh yes mohamed knew his teaching later.. when you say 'god' as if other people are supposed to be impressed you owe that to constantine.

not a mythical figure named jesus, .

every now and then i come ac ross a person in ancient times that blows my mind.

for instance at one time i agreed with many that in 175bce antiochus place a statute of zeus in the temple and nothing was there before.

but lo and behold several sources from then claim that before zeus was an idol of set-typhon in the temple (synchronism) it was really judas maccabee and his family that were the original 'deuteronomists' (not josiah).
