<<If they were ridiculous to report miracles then there is little value to his sayings. They are hardly remarkable in themselves.>>

I don't claim to be a student of Christian mythology, but this seems an odd contention. If the convincing part of Christ's pitch was the miracles, it's unlikely that his following would have spread beyond those who witnessed the miracles. Second hand accounts of miracles are a dime a dozen today (read any tabloid), and I'm sure they were even cheaper then.

Christ's appeal, I'm convinced, is that he said (or may have said; it hardly matters) things that we know are true. How do we know? As I said before, I think the human conscience is a clearer expression of divinity than any religious creed.
