When I speak to Christians, they say no one would die for a scam and therefore the stories about Jesus must be true. Thoughts?
People love to die for causes. It's one of their favorite things to do. All that's necessary is for one guy to get on a soap box and feed them a line of BS (it doesn't really matter what the BS is) and they are eager to go die for it. Throw in a line about how special they are and how they will gain eternal life and there's no stopping them.
