Most People Insist That Two Separate Being Can Never Be One

[Anomalocaris]

That the disciples as a group signed up for a sharply reduced lifetime of pain isn't explainable by politics or economics.

There is little evidence they died for here belief in Christianity and your second statement is simply an assertion plenty of people have been willing to endure truly horrific treatment for both.

all sorts of things that seemingly can’t be explained by immediate political or economic consideration apparent to a superficial observer can be explained by gullibility, suggestability, ignorance, dimwittedness, insanity,  psychosis, duplicity, amongst other things.

each one of these are quite probable, and infinitely more probably than “god”, much less these halfwits somehow being inspired by any “god”.
