Why do you think group hallucinations are the only possible source of delusions? I can produce people for you today who have people convinced they can perform miracles; people can be tricked quite easily, if they want to believe something is true. And these aren't exactly scientifically literate people we're talking about; back in those days everything they didn't understand was some form of magic.
Quote:If they lied and colluded that doesn't fit the profile that people don't willingly die for what they know is a lie.
Except if the accounts of them dying for those beliefs are, itself, a part of the lie.
Quote:If Jesus didn't actually die he wouldn't have convinced anyone he was a risen Messiah, unable to walk, scourged down to the bone, all blooded, tattered, torn, a hole in his chest, feet and hands.
What makes you say that? That's just a bare assertion.
