Does anyone here think the Nativity is not pure myth?

15. Sort of, an example.

In my opinion, the various stories around the birth and childhood of the man known as Jesus were curated.

For example, I think magi or priest/shaman types from the east visited at some point. I suppose that a snippet of old teachings (from the archives) were recalled after an astronomical event that was remarkable at the time, though cyclical and normal to today's astronomers. Rather than following a literal star, I conjecture that they had an intuitive feeling, an internal star if you will, based on the rough sketch given by the old teachings. They still had to ask around because the information from old was hazy, to say the least.

I think, meaning it's my opinion, that people of various backgrounds have had experiences with a sort of deity and did their best to tell others. Maybe a lot was lost in translation. Maybe a lot was added for story telling purposes.
