Yeah, that's your belief and that's OK. But you will understand that it's not enough to convince me of any hiostoricity of the events. There's no cleu who the actual writers of the gospels were. So we're pretty much in the dark if they had an agenda and what that agenda actually was. We also don't know why these stories have been collected. Did they do it under their own steam or did someone commission the books? If so, what did that someone hope to gain?
