I'm not defending the theses. I'm distinguishing them.
In the late middle ages there were clerics who insisted they had the (perfectly preserved) foreskin removed during the circumcision of Jesus.

Christian fascination with this sort of material has a long history.

Medieval fascinations & fetishes are not the topic of this post...but I see your point trying to paint Christians as banal.

The evidence that a virgin did conceive, and give birth to a man who did many miracles and eventually even raised Himself from the dead--so that all His original followers were willing (and often were) to be tortured to death proclaiming these facts, is there--if you open your eyes.

Millions of lives have been radically changed for the better by accepting these facts. I hope you will be one of them.
