Unsupported assertion.

What? How did Rome get involved? Why would a philosophy writer from another country (which did not have even one Christian church) who died a decade after Jesus know of or feel the need to comment? We don't even have all of his works. Not going any further down this rabbit trail. 

That is the definition of a miracle, so...I have no clue what you mean.

I acknowledge that you can't find a trivially easy to find piece of information on the internet.

All you responded with was that it was a horrible comparison without saying why. If an increasing number of people are making the same mistake then it doesn't make what they are mistaken about more likely to be correct.

If a large number of people believe the same thing then all it tells us is that a large number of people believe the same thing.

You can't get around that just by ignoring it.

That the majority of people can be wrong about events (not personal opinions) they personally saw that changed their behavior and life forever? No, I don't acknowledge that that happens.

You can't find what isn't there. Unless you know of some secret source that literally no one else knows of?  Jerkoff
