Quote:One or more of his supporters could have thought they'd seen him after his death (a very common hallucination) and the story grew with the telling. Then it somehow spread to the Gentiles who added their own mythological details.Except that people don't need to hallucinate in order to tell a ghost story, nor does there have a to be any actual person upon whom the ghost is based.
Why would we assume any of that? Why do we have to insist upon jesus?
