A few years ago I read a book by a former Agnostic, or was he an Atheist. He was from a German school famous for the skeptics it turned out. He set out to prove the story of Jesus was a fraud and ended up a Christian. One reason - he said that if all the accounts were consistent then that would prove a conspiracy. His observation was that all the accounts were just as consistent as a detective would expect when interviewing witnesses of a crime scene. He saw the right balance of consistency and inconsistency to convince him that these stories were indeed genuine. Dave (David E. Buxton) davidbu@tekigm2.MEN.TEK.COM
