Dangerous conjecture

Whether they are documented fact or not does not decrease their value as cultural history and literature.

I'm imagining Jesus showing up, rather late in the day, according to the traditional lore of the Second Coming, and then patiently explaining that his resurrection never really happening way back when, it was always just a story, but a story mankind needed to believe at that time.

Apparently we already know that this would not "decrease the value" of the Biblical account of Jesus life as presently understood (in many different ways), though it would surely be a seismic body blow in 7000 other dimensions. — MaxEnt 01:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've taged the sentence with citation needed, b/c, doh, it needs to be attributed at minimum, as it is a statement of opinion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:54, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
