Quote:1. For the first, you have otherwise sane witnesses attesting that they've experienced it, despite suffering from such attestationPsychology disagrees with you .A person can be total rational the majority of the time and still have irrational experiences and attribute irrational believes to things they witnessed and again even sane people can be willing to die for a falsehood.
Quote:2. For the second, you have no such witnessesWe don't need them for this to work
Quote:The first is better supported than the second. You can choose not to believe either if you like, but to claim that there's no difference is ridiculous.Nope there is nope difference one is just as indefensible as the other .

Road to Damascus.

Standard historical research into the documents proves what I said.
Paul's 'interaction' was certainly NOT with the Jesus of the gospels. It is much easier described as an epileptic fit.
It is unclear there was a resurrection story between the death of Jesus and the conversion of Paul.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
