Jesus was connected with Samaria in some parables and episodes "to explain" implicitly his being Alien (to this world and the god of this world). To eclipse the embarrassing fact that the real reason of the being Alien is that Jesus was the Son of an Unknown Father ("Bar-Abbas").
That doesn't make any sense either. The point of Jesus for Paul is that he wasn't an alien, that he was known to the ancient Jews and could be found in their texts. How does making Jesus a Samaritan hide this fact? It only reinforces it. Nor was Marcion or Paul's God "unknown". He was known, Elohim, θεός, the God of Genesis 1, so your idea about "bar abbas", which doesn't mean "son of the unknown father", is yet again proven false.
You don't know anything. You don't belong here. You belong in a mental ward.

excuse me for off topic but I see that now we have officially the Carrier's answer against all the mythicists who are followers of G.A. Wells (Ben C. Smith is one of them).
