There's a lot of historical documentation about Sparticus, a man who lived about seventy years before Jesus was born. Forget about Googling him, you don't need to. He wasn't obscure at all. I have three books that go into the life, times and deeds of Sparticus in great detail. That's because Sparticus was written about by the historians of the time and by the Romans. The guy sure stirred those Romans up, and you can read about it today.

Compared to Sparticus, Jesus is pretty much a nobody. Even though he was born almost a hundred years after Sparticus there's nothing, nothing anywhere, about this guy. Well, there's the Bible. But the stories in the Bible about Jesus were written decades after Jesus died. This is what I find pretty remarkable. Nobody wrote one word about the guy while he was alive? Nobody? And if someone did, where are these writings? Where?

And if nobody ever wrote anything about him while he was alive, why not? I mean, all the stuff the Bible says about him makes me think that someone somewhere would consider that a pretty damn good story, something good to write about. something that people needed to read. But there's nothing.

Sparticus 1

As importantly, Spartacus didn't whine, and didn't ask to have his burden taken away from him. And his wife was HOT!

Spartacus - 2
J3süs - 0

Sparticus died in battle like a total badass. Jesus was crucified and, while he took it like a champ, it's still quite lame.

Sparticus- 3

Jesus- Nada

Sparticus- 3

Jesus- Nada

And it took six Roman Legions to finally kill him. Total f-ing badass!

Well don't forget to tally the score, then....4-0 Sparty!

Didn't Sparticus lead a slave revolt shaking up the entire Roman Empire...without ever claiming divinity.

I think that deserves a point.

So 5-0

So at half-time we have Spartacus 5 and Jesus 0.

Let's pause now for a message from our good friends at Anheuser-Busch. Remember that when you say Budweiser, you've said It all.

Does having a cooler name count?

If so, Sparticus wins that category. Imagine screaming "I am Sparticus!" on top of a mountain. Then imagine screaming "I am Jesus!" on top of a hill. Should they even be compared?

Spartacus scores early in the second half and we're at Sparticus 6, Jesus 0.

Also, spelled backwards it's Sucitraps. That's pretty cool.
