Better question, why don't you?

Um, I'm not a Christian, remember? The gospel accounts were written at least decades after the events they purport to describe. They were written by Christians and from a Christian viewpoint. There is ample information out there examining the historical veracity of the gospel accounts, if you care to look for it. To me it seems clear that they are hagiographical and polemical rather than objective history.

Yes they were. For specific audiences. The tradition was oral and they decided to write them down lest something would be forgotten or get twisted or lost. So what?
