I've been reading through a lot of folk tales and urban legends recently for a project I'm doing and they are pretty swanky if I do say so myself.

What are your favorite folk tales/urban legends? Why?

A very famous legend and folk tale that is retold over and over, is the Story of Jesus, as referenced in the Holy Bible. This legend has undoubtedly changed the world in more ways than can be imagined. Although there is no solid basis of fact to this folk tale, it is taken as truth, based solely on Religious faith, by many millions the world over. There is evidence that this urban legend was begun by the Apostle Paul, several hundred years after the death of the hypothetical Jesus of Nazareth, as a means to generate money, and power.

Lol. I take it you aren't a very religious person. Why do you find the Bible so interesting?

Lets face it! The Bible is an enduring book of Fables. Although The Bible does not pretend to be fact, its Christian readers (for the most part) make it so. Christianity drives this fiction with its need, and ability, to collect money and power. Power over people breeds corruption, and the Church, (filthy rich, after almost 2000 years) is corrupt to the core, even to the point of sexual deviation with the Children of its Parishioners. Neither the Church, nor its Parishioners, will admit to this guilt. What a Plot for a Modern Legend! This is the stuff of Fairy Tales!
