There are LOTS of stories about dead people communicating since then.

What you mean is that this is the last one you choose to believe in.

My point is that the devotion of Christ’s followers after his death no more proves the truth of his being raised than the similar devotion of others proves the truth of their cause.

I happen to believe Christ was raised, I just object to such easily disposed of arguments being presented as “proof.”

The apostle Paul said believing in Christ requires faith, not proof.

“Proof” of this type will not convince anyone who does not already believe, in which case it’s redundant.
