This book represents one section of my book Unkilling Jesus . I have separated out this section of the book because I believe it can stand alone and make a case that the gospels have been fabricated. This book describes that fabrication and how it served to create, eventually, the religion known as Christianity.

It also stands alone and make the argument on how the fish symbol became associate with both Titus and Jesus. This book is called The Mark of Titus .) This book is about love for the mind of ...

In ancient Rome, the use of slave labor in all levels of society was a part of the natural order.
