      Amazingly, there is no 1st-century extrabiblical evidence that Jesus (as a single, historical figure) existed at all http://pewrsr.ch/2hrArFq pic.twitter.com/TStQlKRr7u

      More people believed an angel announced his birth to shepherds than he was of virgin borne.

      .@kithrup @DanielleMuscato The whole Xmas myth—if, like me, you’re not raised in a Christian environment—is totally bonkers and implausible.

          .@kithrup @DanielleMuscato I totally get the need for a winter solstice knees-up, but the surreal religious stuff is … politely: bollocks.

          Honestly I grew up thinking it was a secular holiday. Still treat it as such.

          As opposed to other religious holiday origin stories, which tend to be 100% plausible!
