Modern examples of gullibility as evidence against Christian claims

[Thor]

Mark, Matthew and John were eyewitness followers of Jesus.

Bullshit. No one knows who wrote these gospels. Plus, we don't have the original writings. All we have is copies of copies. Additionally, none of these writers claim to have met an earthly Jesus. Hence, they could not have been "eyewitness followers".

We can reasonably conclude this because of the detail of their separate writings

Then explain why the Gospel of John disagrees with events described in Mark, Matthew, and Luke.

and because other 1st and 2nd century writers mention them and/or quote their book.

This means nothing. I could quote "The Lord of the Rings". Doesn't mean the events really happened.

Jews were not known for their myths--they didn't have any

Oh, you're killing me! That whole bit where "God" sends plagues upon Egypt, Moses parts the Red Sea, receives the Ten Commandments, etc...?

Can you write a book in which your character fulfills several hundred predictions?

Several hundred "predictions" that are vague, nonspecific and probably inserted after the events happened? Sure.

And sell it to a rigid, skeptical audience as history from within their lifetime?

Are you kidding me? Like you guys are even the least bit skeptical?

FallentoReason, do you believe Jesus was a real man? Why or why not?

Speaking for myself, I think there probably was a guy named Jesus who was an itinerant preacher and he met an untimely demise. Then stories about his life became ridiculously embellished and were swallowed up by dimwits and perpetuated to the present day. As for the "Jesus" spoken about in the Babble? No, he didn't exist. And I say so because there is zero evidence to support any of the stories about him.
