Typically when people quote the Bible they will give a chapter and verse and which book it came from.

I didn't quote anything. I figured it was common knowledge that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

You're the one that said Jesus was a middle eastern manlet, so did you base that on an assumption because he was born somewhere or do you have some actual real quotation that you can name?

I didn't say that, I didn't even notice the 'manlet' part and honestly don't even know what that is. I read it as 'man' I guess. So if you are saying he wasn't a manlet then fine, but he was middle eastern is all I am saying.

Again I ask you what evidence do you have of this other than just common knowledge as you call it which really there's no such thing as common knowledge

"According to the Gospels (Matthew 2; Luke 2), Bethlehem was the site of the Nativity of Jesus Christ. Christian theology has linked this with the belief that his birth there fulfills the Old Testament prophecy of Israel's future ruler coming from Bethlehem Ephrathah (Micah 5:2)."
