[quote=Anonymous][quote]Jesus' closest followers specifically denied the possibility of myth: "For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." 2 Peter 1:16 So they either told the truth, or lied. (hence, possibility of apostles as deceivers) [/quote] Not to beat a dead horse (especially since he has since "ascended to heaven") but I'm curious: are the hundreds of thousands of adherents to the Sathya Sai Baba "telling the truth", or "lying"? Were the followers of Mohammed telling "the truth" or "lying"? There's little doubt the folks who wrote the gospels 40 years after Christ died fervently believed what they were writing, as did the later Christians who "clarified" the texts. You know as well as I do that the human capacity for magical-thinking presents an obvious third possibility.[/quote]
