Oh, well, I have to admit, I wasn't expecting that [The death (and resurrection) of Christ is a matter of belief, not of historical fact]. :) I have no idea what to say. :)

And here you just told me that "historic" Christianity has plenty of answers. All the Christians who perished in Roman pogroms did so without ever having seen Jesus. And even some of His own eleven disciples didn't believe in resurrected Jesus when they saw Him [my emphasis]:

Why do you think we are holier than they?

Yes, but I fully accept you as a Christian. That ties my hands to a major extent. :)

And even some of His own eleven disciples didn't believe in resurrected Jesus when they saw Him [my emphasis]:

"But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. [Mat 28:16-17] Why do you think we are holier than they?

I don't think we are holier than anyone else in time. We just have an advantage that many did not, the Holy Scriptures complete, God's word.
