But you're saying that an incredibly important part of the Christian belief system is documented in a set of testimonials riddled with inconsistencies, in at least some part because this extremely important event wasn't written about for decades after it occurred. Because the belief is so important, it overrides any concerns about the validity of the descriptive accounts. That is circular reasoning.
I do not see this is circular, let's look at this, a friend comes and tells you that he saw a man once dead and buried walking around town with two women. Then another friend says to you he saw the same man walking with three women, yet another friend says she saw the man walking with two men and a woman. This event was witnessed by all three at the same place and same time, do you really believe you would give much thought to the people who were with the risen man. Or would you say this man can't be alive my friends saw different people with him, or would you be like me and check out such a miracle?
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
