Interesting, too.

Jesus appears to have been born during a time where contraceptive sciences were lacking.

What a clever God.

Then again, you would think the true period for a messiah would be during a time of great conflict, and global strife, not during a period where a spherical planet was assumed, but not circumnavigated -- which would mean during a period where the birth of said messiah might end up aborted. ...But then, I suppose God would have some sort of Catch-22 policy in place wherein the messiah would be born regardless of conflict, and his mother would carry him/her at least through fetal gestation, which would allow for a 50/50 fighting chance, which is really all any true messiah needs for a sure victory.

Weird.

No, it's not just you, Tom. It's just Lindy.
