The aspect that I considered was that Christianity was strongly opposed by the religious leaders at the time and they could easily have proven falsehoods if there were indeed any.

The Greek gods lasted for 2 millenia and the Egyptian gods for twice that before both were stamped out violently by xtian thugs. Using your ridiculous analogy they should be twice as true as xtianity?
but their is a problem, other than the bible. there is no proof jesus ever even existed. and a book that is written by "belivers" with no way to measure or to examine the truth. is not credible evidence.
