"Next you'll be saying that he just made up that Jesus visited America."

There is, in fact, strong evidence* that Jesus did indeed visit South America.

Witness the fact that the Meso-Americans worshipped a God Quetzelcoatl, who was sometimes represented as a pale-skinned white man with a beard. This is why Cortez received such a nice welcome when he got there, they thought that it was Quetzelcoatl returning, as he had promised to do (just like Jesus promised to return). Quetzelcoatl also opposed human sacrifice, as did Jesus (or at least I'm pretty sure JC wasn't too hot on that anyways) which was unusual amongst this pantheon, who were generally quite keen on things like ripping the still-beating heart from a sacrifice and seeing if they recognise it.

* look, this is about the strongest evidence I've ever seen for anyone believing anything about any religion ever**.... And yes, I'm aware that it's incredibly flimsy all the same. And I'm aware that some historians dispute this as well, saying it's all based on Cortez' testimony, which is hardly impartial. And... oh fuck it. I need a drink.

**apart from TFSM of course. Who is real, may his Noodly Appendages bless you.
