- Humans seem to have a natural understanding of right and wrong (whether we choose to ignore it is a different story).
- If you look at Jesus' life, you could conclude he was either A) insane, B) a liar, or C) who He claimed to be. Most people would agree that He gave no indication of the first two.

None of this --
none of it -- is proof of anything more than your imagination.
What does "coincidence" have to do with anything? The Spanish Armada? Come on. I suppose the Flames beating the Red Wings in 2004 is proof that god exists? The actual existence of Jesus is not exactly solid, let alone what his friends thought of him.
