>• Sixth, why would the disciples die for a lie? We see in the Gospels that they were basically cowards. Why did these timid lambs suddenly change into the lions of the faith? Yes, people die for what they believe is true, but people do not die for what they know is NOT true. History says all of the disciples died for their faith except John.<

Right now there are suicide bombers training to die in the name of Allah: a god that the Christians reject.

Suicide bombers are not dieing for what they know to be a lie. This sixth argument has always been compelling to me. These were humble men who witnessed these events. They claim to have seen and eaten with the risen Christ and many of them died in ways far more horrible than a suicide bomber does. It is a matter of faith, however.

No, these bombers are killing themselves for something they believe is true - but Christians believe are false. This demonstrates that sometimes people WILL accept death for an ideology.
