It adds nothing to the veracity of their claims. People may not be willing to die for something they know to be a lie, but they're perfectly happy - giddy, even - to die for a sincerely held belief, even if that belief is false. Happens all the time.

Quote:The fact that most of the early apostles proved that they were willing to die for their faith does add something to the veracity of their claims. Will people die for something that they know to be a lie? Some of these apostles claimed to have traveled with Christ and watched him as he performed miracles. And for some reason all of these witnesses, when isolated, when facing certain death; were still willing to testify to the end that Jesus is the Truth. Even if denying him meant saving their own skin. How many other religions can say that about their earliest proponents?
