#66 There is no evidence of Jesus ever existing besides from people in his clique.
-and so you think this clique just devoted their lives to promoting a fiction, living it as intensely as if they really believed in the death and resurrection? Such a bother, devoting your life to what you know is a fiction; and for what? all that work in the hope of gaining influence over some fools?
If you believe that, seems you’re the one in a fairy tale… Seems to me the only possible explanation for the historical fact of Christian religion’s birth and expansion is its foundation in a profound sense of guilt experienced by real people who witnessed a real crime/scapegoating. Jesus lived and was crucified: it seems to me just that much is what reason demands we recognize. What else you may want, or not, to believe is the question of faith.
