New Claim: Romans Invented Jesus Christ

[Nihil Obstat]

The Romans were culturally incapable of creating the Jesus story. They were builders, not creators. Hell, they were culturally incapable of creating their OWN religion - they had to borrow it from the Greeks and re-name the gods for ease of pronunciation.

Their engineering innovation was astounding. They created the arch, the dome, the mechanical reaper, indoor plumbing, the aqueduct, the book, pewter, the essential components of the steam engine, glass blowing...

So... no, the Romans were more than capable of creating.
