Nice. And speaking of "why do they think this is convincing..."
Christians often use the alleged martyrdom of early Christians as proof that the myths must be true or they wouldn't have done it. I am more than a little skeptical of how much the folklore of early Christian suffering represents real history but let that go.
There is a nice episode or two of the "Reasonable Doubts" podcast explaining why all the alleged early christian martyrdom is not quite what it's usually made out to be.
