On CNN they showed a clip of palm sunday celebrations in vatican or somewhere and said "..when christians commemorate ..xyz"
Not "what they think is xyz".
So jeebus is a done thing, as real as the sun and the moon. Never mind that no evidence can be found for anything jeebus. "That cave over there is the grotto of the nativity" the Xtian priest says. And that is enough for all heaven-hunters to throng to the "grotto". Just like the colonialist blanks out any suffering by his slaves, just as the butcher and all meat-eaters blank out suffering by "livestock" animals but will get bent out of shape if a puppy is hit with a stick..just like that teh heaven-hunter morons blank out any need for open-minded inquiry into jeebus. Even when someone else does all the work for them (like Atwill has), they do not want to even read the book or even a summary..
