Over 500 people observed Christ Resurrection after He died on the cross. Many people who saw and relayed it back were killed. Not quick deaths mind you, but tortured under extreme measures to shut people up. You would think if this was just sacred fiction they would be subdued about the subject or even keep it a secret.

Either they were telling the truth by using the observation and their experience of empirical evidence by their 5 senses or they were just insane, thus implying every Christian is insane.

The conspiracy theory of salvation--I love it.

Please support this amazing statement.

Many people who saw and relayed it back were killed.

And this one.

Not quick deaths mind you, but tortured under extreme measures to shut people up.

And this one.

No, I wouldn't think that.

Class, this is a marvelous example of the "fallacy of the false dichotomy". The number of alternative explanations which the author has overlooked is left as an excercise for the reader.

Really? Where can I get individual eyewitness accounts?

Obviously, the willingness of some people to engage in fanatical acts for their religion does not prove the truth thereof.
