This is another example of dopey theories being repeated enough that people begin to believe they have merit--just because--"it must be so because I've seen this argument so used so many times.
You have heard of Scientology, correct? Mormonism? Those are just the low-hanging fruit, of course. You believe Christianity is special because you want to believe it. There's nothing objective pointing to its veracity. If there was, it wouldn't be debated.
So, apparently, you are that naive. Good to know.
No, we were talking specifically about Christianity and why someone would write an account in the NT that was not true. Do you have anything?
While I do believe that the events happened, my belief has absolutely nothing to do with whether the events of the NT happened or not. You seem to claim to know (more than just believe) that they are not true. Why do you know that?
