Not being remotely a Christian, and having suffered from Christianity in a number of ways, it does strike me that consider the whole Christian story as a fable is absurd. Something did happen of a monumental kind: the Gospels and the apocryphal gospels and whatever record something like one of the great human earthquakes of all time. Jesus is like an explosion. I don't know about the resurrection, but an unbiased reader reading the Gospels surely must think that one is in the presence of something both amazing and weirdly concrete at the same time. I have read the mythologies of the world from the Bhagavad Gita to the Mayan Popul Vuh, and there is nothing comparable. If there wasn't a Jesus, then there was someone who was easily the most amazing writer of all time living an obscure life in Palestine who invented him, and I would sure like to know who he was!
