The problem with this as an argument is that other causes, which most of us would consider untrue or evil, such as Nazism and Marxism, have elicited similar dedication from their proponents.

Except maybe for a few skinheads, the Nazis pretty much disappeared after the death of Hitler.

Still quite a few Marxists around, and Karl’s been dead a lot longer than Adolph.

If you like, I can find literally hundreds of historical examples where large numbers of people followed causes against what appears to be their own self-interest. Their belief was as intense as that of the apostles, but this intensity does not constitute evidence of the truth of that belief.

I am not saying Christ was not raised, I believe he was. I am merely stating that this article does not present evidence of his being raised.

Unfortunately, after the death of mohammed, his deranged followers did NOT pretty much disappear.
