Obvious bullshitters, and there probably wasn't any malice or intent to deceive involved in that at all. That's just the way the story was told. Hell...that's not even supernatural so I like it as an example......we don't believe them, of course. We believe the NT though, for some reason, when it tells us that there was a "jesus". I think, and this is just me drifting, that we equate the claim "there was a jesus" with the claim "there was a man" which seems intuitively and undeniably true. Men are possible, men are exist. That's not what we're being asked to believe though, we're being asked to believe that there was a -specific- man, not whether or not the existence of men is plausible. Jesus as anyman is the same as jesus as no man.
