moleque I have not read Tolstoys interpretation but you have piqued my interest thanks for bringing that up I will look into it. Dagda acknowleding that the apostles were actual historical figures does not mean that they beleived Jesus was real.For all we know they were just sticking to the teachings of the Gnostics regarding a the coming of a nameless messiah.The apostles themselves did not write the gospels so as far as I am concerned the gospels themselves are based on hearsay.None of the so called words of Christ can be taken at face value since the oldest gospel of Mark was not written till at least 30-60 years after the alleged death of Christ.
In my opinion Josephus did not write that cursory reference to Christ in his book.Most reknowned scholars agree that that was a later insertion into the text.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
