Which always seems to generate a “Well, yes, of course!… but…” from certain circles.
Deb and I went to see a Christmas pageant this season. Big extravaganza, 270° stage. Live animals, including a llama (“Why is there a llama in Roman Judea?” “Shush, Jackster!”). Mary & Joseph — definitely white. Angels — white *and* blond. Judeans — some people of color, not enough to get excited about. Numerous other factual errors to indicate that the production not only was playing loose with historical facts, it fudged the New Testament in favor of spectacle.
In my experience, when confronting certain types of folks with historical facts that they dislike, a common response is, “Well, how do you know? Were you there?” Which I have learned is my cue to shut up and back away.
