[Cronos]

nice article, but several mistakes:

1. Jesus was not a laborer - his foster father was a carpenter, a craftsman, not a laborer and it is more than likely that he followed in those footsteps, not a laborer
2. Judea was not a sleepy backwater -- it was not at the same level as Egypt say or Greece, but it was at a higher level than Mauretania or Britain.
3. Buddhism does not have pantheism, at least as its philosophy which is non-theistic bordering on athiestic.
