The Passion of the Christ.

[DanaC]

Most of the "corroboration" of bible stories and events connected to the alleged Messiah strikes me as very dubious. That there was a Rome and that there was a Judea I have no doubt. That people were crucified is a matter of record. Jesus was a common enough name. I think more likely is that the events described in the Passion of Christ are an amalgamation of several people and events. The existence of "Jesus of Nazereth", son of Mary and Joseph of Aremathea have not been proved nor can they be.
