To what end? What is the point of all the fabrication? I understand and agree that if this is all a just-so story, one never has to deal with the problem of someone being raised from the dead. But there is nothing that you have said in any of your responses that adequately explains why. If you believe that every bit of it is fabrication, then there’s really no discussion here. But, if like most people (skeptical or otherwise) you believe at least that the characters are real and many of the details are also true, then the human nature aspect simply becomes more unbelievable than someone beating death.
