So you just admitted that a personal/interpersonal series of events cannot be verified--like the ones discussed at length in the gospels. Interesting. So, why do you demand that they be verified when you admit they cannot be?

I believe the Gospels to be fiction.  Fairy tales based upon older fairy tales.  Just because something is written down doesn't mean it's true.  Otherwise I'd go teach at Hogwarts.
