Indeed, I suspect a large portion of those few billion people would in fact be surprised to learn that, for instance, the New Testament books called Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were not written by those people (if they even existed) and the texts do not even make any claims about their own authorship.
- gattilorenz 4y agoYes, and that is probably true for a lot of other things that we assume as cornerstones of Western culture (e.g. Homer). Many people would be surprised at the realisation that Christianity is a eastern religion (having originated in what we call “the Middle East”).
- nahill 4y agoNo, they would not. Everyone knows it's an eastern religion originating from the Middle East. Next you'll be saying Christians have not been told Jesus was not white! Like, that's also something that all Christians know.
