Stephen, Do you believe Joseph Smith was telling the truth about being visited by the angel Moroni? Is this true just because millions of mormons believe it?
Do you believe Mohammed really ascended to heaven on a winged horse? Just because millions of people believe in a myth, that doesn't make it any more real. Jesus the man could very have existed. The man (or men) who served as the initial inspiration for the myth.
