Why did pagans not take any notice of Jesus?

  What does me choosing to believe in the miracles of the Bible and being skeptical of those outside the Bible have anything to do with Christianity, you are making no sense at all and you're playing the circle game of reasoning to dispute anything I say. What you want to believe and what you should believe are up to you, I'm only answering questions you present and so far you haven't disproven any answers. When a miracle occurs it will have no rational explanation as the Fatima does, nor will there be any confusion about the miracle as with the Fatima. I have never expected an atheist would take any Christian belief seriously if you did then you wouldn't be an atheist. Christians do not have a hoard of beliefs, the essentials are few God intended it to be that way. My conclusion about this discussion is this, you are trying to assure yourself that Christianity has nothing for you, it does regardless of how you rationalize things.

I think that you are being inconsistent, say, for accepting the miracle accounts of Jesus in the Gospels, while at the same time disregarding the miraculous accounts of Jesus, say, in the Gospel of Peter, or the miracles of Apollonius of Tyana, etc, etc, etc.

 Not at all. To accept the miracles of Jesus in the Bible is accepting things God did. Accepting the miracles from a book outside the Bible would be the same as accepting miracles just because someone said they saw this or that. Only God can produce miracles, If a man claims he has then he is a liar according to the scriptures and all my beliefs are based on the scriptures, so when people claim something it has to fit the parameters of the Bible.
