Well, I have a particular problem with the gospels because we have no idea at all who wrote them. So trying to get into their head seems like virtually guesswork to me.
But sure, maybe I'm too sceptical about it all. I can't help it, it's like atheism, it's a state of mind. If I read the arguments and evidence and it doesn't change my belief, that's just the way it is. Doesn't mean I'm right at all, no one should take my opinion seriously. Just calling it as I see it.
If all history is based on as weak evidence as this, I'd be loathe to believe very much of it. I'd rather draw no conclusion than the wrong one.
