Jesus' father was Panthera or Pantera, a Roman centurion? Perhaps this is
the origin of this tradition...

Hmm.....I am really confused now, but that is probably nothing new. Hmm, I
wonder which Michael you used to be.....McGill? J. Michael? One can only
wonder....Hmm.
In any case, let's hear more about this supposed tradition that you mention
about who the earthly father of Jesus might have been, had there been a real
Jesus, of course. Does this tradition presuppose that Joseph was just an
innocent dupe, or does it name somebody besides Mary as his mythical Mom as
well? I am just curious. Hmm. :)
