I'll express one aspect of my last answer to you as a direct question. You said:2. Christianity appears to have begun without a human/historical Jesus as part of the religion; it was a "savior cult" similar to other religions of the time
Can you demonstrate that any other cultic literature written (or formulated) between 300 BC and 100 AD attempted to imitate historical narrative for the purpose of expressing religious truths -- specifically, that the "savior" in question interacted with particular contemporary political figures that were known to the writers and readers of those works (for example, in Mark, Jesus plainly interacts with Pilate and Herod)?
This is centuri0n, aka Frank Turk, who has been an internet apologist for about 10 years and has never really gained anything for himself through it but a handful of friends and a lot of ill-will. Most people, honestly, do not like to argue with him because he doesn't know how to let it go. He's a blogger of some minor note, and he's a "calvinist".
