Being brought back from the dead, or what would have been considered dead 2000 years ago, is not really all that uncommon these days. To wander from the topic, WRT JC that's something I wondered about back in Sunday School. I mean, if you're going to all the trouble of miraculously coming back from the dead, why not stick around for a while? Maybe drop in on Pilate and say "Neener, neener, neener." :-) | |

| Dec 21, 2016 at 16:55 | comment | added | Delioth | @Bellerophon if we take parts of the bible as history, the reason Herod failed to kill Jesus was because the family fled to Egypt, and was thus not in Herod's domain for a time. | |
| Dec 21, 2016 at 16:53 | comment | added | Bellerophon | @Delioth Didn't Herod kill tons of them? Just point out Jesus to him. | |
| Dec 21, 2016 at 16:47 | comment | added | Mixxiphoid | I live in the Netherlands... Also, as stated in other answers Christmas wasn't always celebrated in the same way as it is today. | |
| Dec 21, 2016 at 15:17 | comment | added | kingledion | @Mixxiphoid Any evidence of that? | |
| Dec 21, 2016 at 9:15 | comment | added | Mixxiphoid | Note that in Europe there is a separate feast to Saint Nicolas, celebrated on either the 5th or 6th of december. Most people do not give presents to each other with Christmas, but rather with the feast of Saint Nicolas. The celebration of Christmas in Europe has nothing to do with Saint Nicolas. | |
| Dec 20, 2016 at 22:24 | comment | added | Delioth | @Bellerophon the weight of our guilt should do nicely, what with having just murdered a child. | |
| Dec 20, 2016 at 17:26 | comment | added | Bellerophon | @kingledion This time we'll seal the tomb with something heavier than a rock. | |
| Dec 20, 2016 at 17:24 | comment | added | kingledion | You know, he already came back once after his enemies killed him. (Jesus, not St. Nick) Good luck. | |
