"But if it is to cheat them into the religion of love and peace, even inserting lie and sacrilege into the holy book is allowed."

No it isn't.

Joseph's line reaches back to Abraham and Mary's line reaches back to Abraham. Most importantly the line of Jesus reaches back to Adam which reaches back to G_d. Just because Joseph's seed did not directly create Jesus did not mean he had no part in the birth of Jesus. He took care of Mary and saw to it that she and Jesus were safe. He obeyed G_d and was a just man.

If you want to point out things that Christians have done wrong go ahead, but you can't find fault with Jesus, who led a blameless life. Did Mo live a blameless life? No, of course not. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega the Beginning and the End. There is not other before him and no other after him. He is the beloved Son of G_d. Why would the world need anyone after him? He is the light for many who lived in darkness. But there are also those who wish the world to go back to dark times and cover the light. No, it will not happen because we are promised by G_d, and he delivered his promise through his only begotten Son. There is no one after.
