It is amazing to me how this fact does not bother Christians. It would certainly bother me if I was one.
The most important man who ever lived, and we're relying on gossip from years later to learn about him? And for the ressurection, when you take out the forged extra ending, we're relying on a hearsay account of another hearsay account (a guy simply stating Jesus is alive while providing no evidence). I wouldn't accept that standard of evidence about the price of a newspaper, let alone an unprecedented supernatural event.
After sampling apologist's books, I'm aware of the kind of ridiculous lengths people will go to justify to themselves that this is all actually evidence of any value.
