Still convienantly way after the fact, not to mention babies are not born from one set of DNA but TWO. Not to mention the fact once you are dead you are dead. So even if the writing were written during the time of the alleged Jesus character IT STILL does not make magic babies real, much less any disimbodied magical super god by any name.
It is still a book of myth regardless if it is peppered with real places or real people.
And it is completely looney to make the claim that a god is all powerful, but choses to take 1,000 years from the early hebrew writings to the first cannanized bible to take 40 authors with books left out and depend on people VOTING on what goes in and out.
Really? By your stupid standard I could write a book about me, and since I am real, I could include claims about meeting Donnald Trump and claim he made me a billionaire and you should blindly blieve it. Somehow I don't think if I did that you would.
Was there a movement that started Christianity? DUH, but it was not started by a god or anyone with magical super powers. It became successful because of marketing, nothing more. Same reason Islam is popular, not because Allah is real, but because people sell it and people buy it.
The same stupidity that would lead an Eskimo to buy ice when they don't need to.
When you go to the movies you can see Superman flying arround real cities like New York, since New York is real, then Super Man is real, going by your logic.
Muslims claim that Mohammed is real so why are you not a Muslim? They have tradition too, they quote their book too, and they have more numbers than Christians. So go join up right now if you are going to be consistant.
