Christians have deep faith in what is AT BEST non contemporary second and third person hearsay none of which is corroborated by any rigorous scientific examination and in fact some of which has been item by item specifically debunked. Moreover, the story of Jesus was likely no more than a repetition of myths that had been lore in many societies, virtually verbatim, for some 2000-3000 years prior to 1AD.
As were the tale of the flood, the character of Moses, etc. etc.
Almost as if it were some sort of amalgamated, one world religion. Ironic, isn't it?
