Why are we holding what some people believe in as some kind of objective truth again?
People believing in Santa != Santa actually exists.
People believing in anal probing aliens != those anal probing aliens actually exist.
People believing Jesus was a magic man (not in the Heart sense) != Jesus being a magic man.
It doesn't matter that billions of people think so. It doesn't matter that there are early references to Christianity in other works (works that don't even attempt to judge the truthiness of the sect's claims, but rather simply acknowledge that, yeah, they existed). It doesn't matter that you illogically think that Jesus is different/special and not beholden to logic.
No freshman philosophy teacher would give that line of reasoning a passing grade.
