...but what evidence do you have in the account's historically accuracy other than your own faith?

The same question could be asked of many other events in the Bible that both Christians and Jews believe. And the answer would be the same for both Christians and Jews. We don't believe in our faith because of what archaeologists say, or what scholars say, even when they happen to support the Scriptures (as they often do), because that isn't the nature of faith.

My point is that much has been made of Jewish guilt on this subject. The movie deals with this at least in a round about way. The poster wondered why we could not discuss this. Well, we can but the discussion would have to have some point of reference. If you take it just as a matter of faith then you just believe and no discussion is needed. Personally I happen to come down on the faith side but I don't think it can be had both ways.

Actually, the same question could (should) be asked of everything. See Why I Am (Still) a Christian.
