Quote: You're going to tell me, that rumors got hyped up so amazingly high within the course of 60-70 years, that some guy wrote a book in which the dude claims to be God... and everyone believes it? Wouldn't most of the people be able to ask their friend about the dude? So there is a group that starts making racket about this guy, and no one stops and thinks, "I should probably ask people who were also there"? Such a stretch.
How many people are going to be around 60-70 years later who could possibly have been an eyewitness to any of those events? Furthermore, how could you verify any of the accounts? How could you take a single testimony seriously? It's like how there were 60000 people or so in Three Rivers Stadium when Franco Harris caught the Immaculate reception, yet a million Steelers fans from 40 years ago claim to have been there to see it happen. Or, if you prefer, enough alleged fragments of the True Cross to have made a hundred of them.
