How does the Christians on this board cope with the fact that the historical Jesus contradicts the the Jesus from the Christian tradition? Not asking to be a scumbag atheist, I am genuinly curious.

From a rational and historical perspective, one must conclude that Jesus did not rise from the dead, and that he neither did many of the miracles. Do you simply ignore them and turn to faith, or do you work through them to be accordance with your religion in any other way? For instance, did Jesus really have to rise from the dead for him to be your saviour?
