Would we be surprised if Jezus turned out to be a separatist?

I think that he would have a good laugh at the divine stories the evangelists invented around him.

When you read early religious scriptures and then you look at the history of Religion, im pretty Jesus(Christianity), Buddha(Buddhism) and Lao tzu(Taoism) in particular would be roll their eyes when they saw what people did with their names. Im actually quite certain they would not be pleased to see crusades, automatic prayer machines and stone worshipers.

Lucius Cornelius Sulla.

One of the most misunderstood and underrated generals and leaders in history. I would have so many questions including why he didn't kill Gaius Julius Caesar.

Thomas Jefferson did not attend the Constitutional Convention. He was serving as minister to France at the time.

Dude was King of the richest country in the world for 72+ years. That's like if FDR was still President. He'd probably have some neat things to say.
