Was this part your original question? i found it difficult to pick out what the actual question was in the first post
Ill answer this question anyway, yes id believe he was the son of god and die for him. Im guessing id have little to no education since this is around the time of christ, i wouldnt know anything i know now, and ive had witnessed two mirracles. Id probably already believe in god anyway and also believe the earth was flat and so on.
the question I had answered was what is the best evidence of the existance of GOD? and I had responded Personal experience and this evidence though subjective will always trump any other when it comes to an individual. And someone had disagreed so I used the analogy above to try to demonstrate my point. As far as your answer goes its the honest answer that I believe anyone would give. To give that answer does not mean you believe in God but just shows you accept the power of personal experience even over Logic. The only caveat being if someone could shake your personal experience by convincing you that you imagined it.
