I think it's very harsh to judge those who don't believe us as crazy. They may have good reasons to be skeptical about what we are claiming. I can tell somebody that my life was "shaped" by something I claimed happened, but I might not be convincing. Do you believe everything people tell you changed their lives?The example was the we may not have participated in the historical event, but our lives were shaped by them and we are a witness and only a crazy person can deny those events to us as we have 1st hand witnesses accessible to us.
I'm not sure what you mean here. I posted evidence that it's wrong to assume that a real person is needed to motivate others and that Paul didn't need a real Jesus to write his epistles.I didn't say "impossible". I said "evidence" and "indicator". As such, the conditional statements following your misreading aren't applicable.
Well, at least I can understand what you're saying here! Anyway, you evidently completely misunderstand what I said. I'm saying that writing letters about a figure is weak evidence for that figure, and that includes Paul's epistles in which he mentions Jesus. So letter writing is not my standard of evidence for a historical person.If this is your standard of evidence, then I wish you great luck with your future endeavors.
With all due respect, your writing can use some polish. Most of the time I don't know what you're talking about.
