A fine example of a fraud and a hoax that passes for gospel among some folk. As a Campbellite, there's a part of me that sees it as something of a strident mythology, but I'm hardpressed to see how it helps folks to accomodate the environment they live in.

Trivia time: Titus gets credit for the word 'equivocate'. When caught in a lie by his questioners, he is said to have replied "I must have equivocated myself." Or so it is said.
