Regardless of specifics, the "die for a lie" argument is totally broken. Simply put, the level to which someone believes something, and what they are prepared to do for that belief, in no way tells you whether the belief is actually true. People can be mistaken. There seems to be this weird notion that no one from 2000 years ago could possibly ever be mistaken about anything.

Tracey Harris gives a clinical takedown of it here:
