So, nothing besides your faith. And that of course, cannot be scrutinized by others. I share some common ground. Good and evil seem self-evident. Transcendence and the promise and sense of some kind of eternal home are among my experiences. As to Christianity itself, the evidence seems overwhelming that it is born as a subversive vehicle to convert the pagan masses toward weakening and toppling Rome. That no historical evidence exists that we know of confirming the actual life of the central character; that that character shares characteristics with The Sun - hence the appeal to pagan thought, as does the blood magic sacrifice (echoing the story of the scapegoat) that anchors the narrative.
