    Same way as Jesus. Everyone who managed to get something down on paper admitted that they saw visions or dreams of the man not the man himself.

    Almost as if he also never existed. Supposed to believe that these people had meet the single most significant human in history, walked with him, ate with him, spent time with him and out of all these dozens of people not a single one bothered to write or even dictate what they saw. We know social media, we know how much people will latch on to even the tiniest brush with the tiniest amount of greatness and yet these people who had supposedly meet the new Adam. The first human in history that would have an afterlife. The celestial being made flesh. The fucking Messiah! Not one, not a single one bothered to do the first century equivalent of a selfie.

    No relics, no location of a burial place, no eyewitnesses, no scribes writing down the accounts of eyewitnesses, no royal lineage, no consistent biography, no nothing. A giant gaping human sized hole in the record.
