This is like asking "If you were there on the Death Star, and Darth Vader choked you without physically touching you, would you believe in The Force?" It's a loaded question with only one correct answer: "Yes, when faced with indisputable proof of the impossible, I would believe the impossible", which is exactly the same as the only correct answer to your question. And it's equally relevant to your question.

Not necessarily, there were people in Jesus who witnessed the miracles He performed and still wanted Him killed.

Once again, you're assuming the miracles actually happened, with no evidence whatsoever. Are you expecting someone here to say "I'd have been one of those who wanted him killed"? Would that give you a chance for a "Gotcha!" response about how they're really evil? Maybe such a person would be possessed by the devil. Devil

If you were an atheist, you never would have posted such a question. It's obviously an agenda based "gotcha" question, and without the agenda, there would be no question. Which, as I said, is why I won't bother even entertaining it. It's a pointless hypothetical that doesn't apply to the real world, so I refuse to walk into your agenda.

I notice you didn't actually answer my question, though I'll admit that I was probably more accusatory than I should have been if I wanted a response. But the answer seems obvious to me, and I was hoping you'd admit it. Exactly why did you post this question? It's not like there's anything to discuss in a scenario that only has one reasonable response if taken seriously.
That's MISTER Godless Vegetarian Tree Hugging Hippie Liberal to you.
