If they lied about some, they may have lied about all of it. I believe they made up the story after some major event (perhaps a mass execution of cult followers, but who knows).







It isn't that we don't know very much, we know lots. In fact, we know 99.99% of the story is false and man made. So, using Occam's Razor, we can assume the entire story can be made up, as that is the simplest explanation.
Setting aside your abuse of poor old Occam, how exactly do you know this? The equivalent of only 1 / 10,000 words in the NT is accurate? There are 138,000 words in the entire NT: which are the 14 of them that you find to be historically unobjectionable?

I only ask this absurd question, because I think you have quite vividly demonstrated that you really do not know enough about the story of Jesus to even judge the facts from the fiction.
