In other words, it's prima facie incoherent. And that's how it stays unless you go with the copout that "It's a mystery." Yeah. Tell me again about how Christianity restores intelligibility to the universe.
Jesus of Nazareth was a nut, whom the literate Romans crucified without so much as a historical footnote, and the hundreds of thousands of individuals who could have mentioned his existence didn't, because, he was not worth mentioning -- they all knew a religious loon when they saw one.
Instead, it was due to the influence of a bunch of illiterate, lowerclass peasants, all of whom believed in a flat Earth, and one apocalyptic literate psychotic individual, Paul, who sowed the foundations of what would later become a world religion.
But, yet, here we are discussing it!
