We know exactly what the first century Christians believed and much of what they did. Even Bart Ehrman thinks the NT is 99% of what it was originally. I don't care if you don't find it compelling.Blatant bullshit. Know what someone believed and what actually happened are two different things (well, for most people).
But this constant nonsense (not just you) of "no evidence" is just silly and show a lack of understanding the evidence, or bad reasoning skills, or misunderstanding definitions, or a bias you bring to the subject.
You have no evidence that doesn't have other reasonable explanations for it. And that last sentence shows just how much your brain is damaged by your beliefs.
