As for what xtians profess to believe well we are frequently inundated by tidal waves of bullshit.

The garnish makes it a little hard to be sure, but I'm assuming that you're putting forward some form of Mythical Jesus theory here. With apologies, but I won't be joining you, for the same reasons that I don't discuss creationist 'science' with fundies.
My guess is that Minimalist was probably raised by Christian fundamentalists, or was himself one at some point, which would likely explain why he evidently only lost the Christian part. Old habits die hard. Or they just don't die at all.

But an obvious solution, keeping in line with the dating of the Gospels ascribed by most historians, Christians, and mythicists, is that the superstitious idea of spitting on the eyes in divining a cure for blindness was not invented by either the Gospel writers or Suetonius, but was popular in the cultures they wrote. Of course, to a black-and-white mind, any similarity between two surviving texts out of a mass now lost necessitates that one was copying the other, but that's not really how the world, or the writings that reflect it, typically works.
