We can't rewrite the myth.

The myth says it was Bethlehem of Judea.

The myth is what it is.  It may or may not correspond to fact.

But no one has standing to merely rewrite it.

Proteus, You are in the meager minority of the world's 2 billion Christians who consider it to be a myth and, yes, 'no one [within Christendom] has the standing to merely rewrite it.".  However, the factual evidence unearthed by archaeologists along with the glaring inconsistencies in the CT have, in effect, rewritten the myth for anyone who is open-minded and willing to accept that it is indeed a myth.  In my humble opinion, most of the world's 2 billion Christians will reject the evidence and continue to sing the popular Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and believe the fairy tale in it.

Our raison d'être:

WHOSOEVER DESTROYS A SINGLE SOUL OF ISRAEL, SCRIPTURE IMPUTES [GUILT] TO HIM AS THOUGH HE HAD DESTROYED A COMPLETE WORLD; AND WHOSOEVER PRESERVES A SINGLE SOUL OF ISRAEL, SCRIPTURE ASCRIBES [MERIT] TO HIM AS THOUGH HE HAD PRESERVED A COMPLETE WORLD. (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin, 37a)

The fruits of our effort:

The battle against spiritual terrorism is being won, one soul at a time!!!
