Christianity has always been a historical religion and any serious challenge to its legitimacy must attend to that fact. Christianity's claim to historical validity rests on grounds that no serious historian could begin to accept. Have any of the accounts of the life and doings of Jesus been confirmed by documents other than those produced by followers of the Christian faith? Is it possible to achieve historical confirmation of the central elements of the story: the immaculate conception and the resurrection? I don't think so. This has always been my central objection to the Christian myth system. I just don't believe the story. I don't believe that anyone on this earth was ever born of a virgin, ever returned from the dead, or ever ascended into heaven. I'd be willing to believe that a preacher called Jesus achieved a following and was executed after offending the local powers; that seems quite consistent with human nature. But the rest of it is not convincing, not convincing at all.
