Are you checking out entirely, on me, with the rest of that bullshit? I really don't care whether or not fairies exist, as difficult as that may be for you to believe. I just don't...and I'm struggling to see how this is any more relevant to my comments than the above was.
After awhile, the weight of evidence begins to suggest that the gospels are anything but fairy stories.
Which is why you do NOT want to evaluate that evidence honestly.
You'd rather live in a make-believe world of your own.
Some parts are fairy-tale-like ... such as the nativity accounts (especially Matthew's) ... and the Resurrection ...
The problem with both extreme sides is the agreement that the Gospels are either this or the opposite ... no inbetweens ...
