Religion is ulterior motive as well. I dont remember the bible saying we should explain away gods inconsistencies.OK, I should have said ulterior motive.That would be motive, my dear weatherman.I have yet to find any motive of the Bible other than my and your salvation.There was is no motive in religion? Really?And the proof is motive. Every criminal detective first looks at motive. So what was the motive for fabricating fantastic miracles?I question everything about him if that is the case. Look, Jesus may have existed, but all the magic tricks attributed to him? Extraordinary claims needs extraordinary proof.
Power? No, says we are to submit to the government and each other as individuals.
Money? No, says you give what you wish under no duress.
Fame? NT letters were written after his death. All disciples except one were executed for their faith.
To paraphrase CS Lewis, Jesus was either histories most famous suicidal narcissist or he was who he said he was.
Simple logic tells you that since there is no motive for fabricating such stories, they must be true.
