Each of the account goes out of its way to make Jesus as being born in Bethlehem to fulfill the Micah prophecy and yet end up being raised in Nazareth out of all the villages. Why not keep him in Bethlehem if Jesus was nothing but a myth?
Mythicists do not seriously consider questions like this one from what I keep seeing.
It's the shoehorning that makes me think there may have been a historical figure. Like the excuses they make for such an ignoble death.
