Except there is no indication that any of it ever happened. That is the fly in the ointment of your bullshit religion. The gospel of Mark was an anonymous story written between 40 and 100 years later and the follow up stories of Matthew and Luke were embellishments of it. "John" is even later and a pile of miraculous crap obviously written after the thing got going. Not only would the lapse of time argue against "Mark" being written by an eye-witness ( and eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable to begin with) but the Great Revolt resulted in countless deaths among that very population. In the first century life expectancy was not what it is today: 40 was old. Add that to the fact that "Mark" does not claim to have been written by an eyewitness and what you are left with is a load of xtian shit that has been concocted over the centuries.
We live in an age of almost instant and limitless communication and we have 25% of Americans who think Obama is a muslim born in Kenya. As Chuck noted above, in antiquity things were a lot simpler but people were just as stupid.
