Hang on - let's look at the logic here:
YOU believe in something which is essentially a fantasy (cannot be
observed or proven in any way)
"SO <your fantasy> ensured it was written down..."
 
See what I mean?
 
Your entire belief is predicated on your belief - ie it's a circular
piece of non-reasoning which it is fair to say is a complete load of
hogwash.

I think the story of the easter bunny has stood the test of time and
finds itself in dozens of different translations, too. What does that
prove?
