To comment on your last sentences, Rich, I think if you re-read them you will find that the Gospels actually have several discrepancies between them.

Sure, there are minor discrepancies in the telling of the gospel story, which is to be expected coming from different authors, although the later authors seemed to be familiar with earlier authors. The point I was making was not about minor differences between the gospels. I was pointing out that the tradition of WRITTEN history is fairly new, and not necessarily any more ACCUATE than the earlier oral traditions.
