I used to posit a historical Jesus, whether he was Christ or not, but even that doesn't look too likely any more. The forty year gap between 'resurrection' and the writing of Mark should have been filled with such religious turbulence it would have made the Antioch Evening News. There was just Paul, and his writings suggest he had little to go on besides the Damascus apparition.

Perhaps you need to do a little more reading. The New Testament would be a good place to start.

I've read it. I've read the concordances. I've plunged headlong into theology, and emerged with the belief it's a lot of wishful thinking driven by desparation. Existentialism is a harsh master, but it has the advantage of being rational and honest.
