What evidence do you have that your assertions in points 1 and 2 are true ?

Point 1, I have to admit, is interpretation, although it’s a standard one. If Jesus had not been physically resurrected, how is He different from any other important religious figure, from Moses to Buddha?

Point 2, I think, is a tautology. Stories are not what establish religious truth. Events establish religious truth, and our source for events is the Bible, specifically the Gospels.

If Kolokotronis were here, he would now call me a black-and-white text-obsessed Augustinian, with a sidewise swipe at my ancestral Calvinism, bless his heart.
