jevad... history is not a subjective decision based on political agendas and personal bias. it is (ideally) a collection of evidence and making a case for the most likely scenario. That is why I believe the Holocaust really happened. there are eye witnesses of it, and there is historical/archeological evidence of it. some crazy people deny those and say it didn't happen... the rest of us think they're nuts (because they base their belief on personal bias or political agenda, and ignore evidence). I'm not saying Christianity is right or wrong in its whole, but i am saying that Jesus is a historical figure - that even non-christian scholars agree with. there are a handful of tabloid historians who make a living by promoting a minority agenda (Jesus Seminar, JD Crossan, Wells, etc.), but they are not respected by the larger history/archeology community.
