Good luck proving that the bible is any more based on a true story than the Odyssey.
Same way we know that the god Yahweh is real but the god Zeus and other deities featured in the Odyssey are just made up.
As America's 2nd Best Christian, Pastor Deacon Fred once wisely said, "you don't need facts when ya got Jesus."
After all, "cult" is only a word used in the second or third person. When it's your religion, it's the Truth with a capital "T".
Praise! Glory!
