Someone asked a question at r/AskHistorians about Justin Martyr's claim that skeptics could just look at records of the census (from the Gospel of Luke)
The top comment (currently a little under 430 upvotes as of this writing) over there really bothers me, and I am going to explain why.
OK the commenter notes that Jesus was probably born in Nazareth and not Bethlehem, which I agree with.
Then things start to go off the rails.
He says,
>There is another Problem, and that is that it is far from proven that the Bethlehem that is attested for the centuries after Christ is indeed the Bethlehem mentioned in the old Testament (which is also attested in the Amarna letters). There is a fair chance that that what is today Bethlehem was only ascribed as such during the period in which also Justin Martyr writes (first half and middle of the second Century).
Wait, so people in the 2nd century just decided "yeah this town is Bethlehem"? What? Why?
>On a side note, if the Marcion hypothesis holds true it would make the author of the Gospel of Luke and Justin Marty roughly contemporary
The problem with this is that GLuke cannot be contemporary with Justin Martyr, because Justin uses a Gospel harmony that already includes Luke, as our best contributor at r/AcademicBiblical, zanillamilla points out^(1)
>For one thing, the gospel cannot be contemporary with Justin Martyr because the latter is dependent on a gospel harmony of the synoptics that is possibly ancestral to the one completed by his student Tatian, see (sexual harrasser) Helmut Koester's and William L. Peterson's chapters in Ancient Christian Gospels (SCM Press, 1990), pp. 360-430. So Luke is earlier than the harmony that Justin was dependent on.
The late scholar Larry Hurtado also thought Justin used a Gospel harmony that included Luke^(2):
>Second, if we examine Justin’s references to these “memoirs of the apostles,” he often quotes from them, and what he quotes is recognizable, most often from the Gospel of Matthew, but also sometimes from Luke and (less obviously) the other familiar Gospels. Indeed, these references include narrative material, including references to the narratives of Jesus’ trial, crucifixion and resurrection (e.g., Dialogue with Trypho 101:3; 102:3; 103:6; 104:1; 105:1, 5-6; 106:1, 3, 4; 107:1). So, we’re not dealing with something like a s
... keep reading on reddit ➡I live in a suburb with one of the highest crime rates in my city, but my immediate area is almost crime-free.
However, a few days ago, about 4 am, I awoke to a sound like an intruder was breaking in. I was very suspicious.
So I activated some of my smart lights. I then broadcasted to one of my smart speakers to appear that I was calling the police. Then played the news to make it appear that there were many people in the house, and we were investigating.
Today, I decided to make a security routine that will automatically do all of this if something like this happens.
-
Broadcast "Hey what is going on here........ Collin, I am calling the police."
-
Turning on one light
-
Play news on one speaker in the kitchen -> To give people the impression that many people are awake and talking
-
Turn on another light.
Now anyone has any suggestions to add to this routine.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I guess the concept didn't work
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
And boy are my arms legs.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
The bartender says, "Sorry, no minors”
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
