Do not take the vaccine, their plan is to turn humans into synthetic organisms that can no longer feel god, like a dimmer switch for your soul.

No mate. The vaccine stimulates an immune response to the spike proteins on the COVID virus.

I am Christian, I believe in Jesus.

Do you? I question his historicity.

Certainly not all the parts of the story rings true. The Romans had censuses, but they only counted roman citizens, not Palestinians. And in no census ever do you have to return to your place of birth. The whole idea of a census is that you find out where the people are now, so that you can plan.

The Roman census was set up to count the number of Military Age Eligible Men within the boundaries of the Empire so they'd know who they could call on in time of need of their military service but, being the nitpickers they were, they also included the names, ages, birthplaces of the women and children as well. Also, and unlike other empires and kingdoms of the time, the Romans had a unique practice whereby they would conquer a land and, instead of enslaving the populations, basically let the nation rule itself so long as it remained under Roman Reign and those people agreed to give Military Service to Rome. This is why so there were so many non-Romans in the Roman army, especially during the last four hundred years of the Empire's existence before it finally fell when Rome was sacked by Barbarians between 395 and 410 A.D. (The actual year of Rome's collapse has been in scholarly dispute for two hundred years, which is why I put an approximate rather than a fixed date.)

Yes Romans did censuses. Probably started by Servius Tullius in the 6th century BC. But they're documented.

The problem with the Christian story, is that there was no single census of the entire empire under Augustus.

There was a census of Judea upon the imposition of direct Roman rule in 6 CE. The Census of Quirinius

However, no Roman census required people to travel from their own homes to those of distant ancestors, and the census of Judea would not have affected Joseph and his family, living in Galilee.

And the details are historically mixed up. Luke uses the Census of Quirinius to get Jesus (of Nazareth) to Bethlehem for his birth to meet the (claimed) prophesy of where the Jewish messiah would be born. But Mathew says that Jesus' birth was during the reign of Herod the Great, who died 9 years before the census of Quirinius.

Scholars tend to be of the opinion that it was Luke that was wrong, but I find it plausible that the whole thing was just made up out of whole-cloth.
