OP, you have a right to believe what you want. But how can you totally discredit a religion that has first person accounts of it's figurehead that were written over 2000 years ago? I put much more credit into someone like Matthew, Mark, Luke or John who actually saw these things, than a critic that lived thousands of years later and was not there to see these things like they were. Oh, and not to mention the over 500 witnesses mentioned that saw them as well.
