Why stop there, DE?

Why not call the Resurrection the "hallucination at the tomb"? Or Paul's vision "the hallucination on the road to Damascus"?

It's the same argument.

The strong reactions are actually good signs. Apathy is the true opposite of love.

Other reactions are often indications of being specially drawn. All things in good time.

Because I and millions of Christians can tell the difference between the pivotal moment in all of history at Calvary and the very reason for our existence from the sad delirium suffered by children, fools or charlatans.

It's the same argument.

It's the difference between salvation and superstition.
