Why did the Jews lie about Jesus?

[Jehanne]

Aviezer Tucker on the argument for historicity-

 "The problem with the Synoptic Gospels as evidence for a historical Jesus from a Bayesian perspective is that the evidence that coheres does not seem to be independent, whereas the evidence that is independent does not seem to cohere."

There's an awfully simple explanation for that..one that does cohere with every independent explanation for the development of movements of any kind.

Christian apologists love to embrace their confirmation biases, while at the same time also embracing their congruence biases.
