Urban legends can spring up in no time and persist despite their outrageous claims and evidence to the contrary.
"But the early believers saw Jesus days after he died on the cross", you object.
One word: Elvis.
Well, I have to admit something...I didn't see this the first time around. I got so caught up in the whole "David Koresh proves the apostles were nuts" thing, that I complete missed this even GREATER stupidity.
Elvis?
Just out of curiosity, did Priscilla claim to see him? Or his manager? How about any of the boys in the band? No?
Jesus was seen by the Eleven he had chosen along with his own mother, Mary Magdalene and others who had traveled with him, eaten with him, listened to him...for THREE YEARS. Did I mention his mother?
So, you actually want to compare the credibility of these witnesses of Jesus with those who claim to have seen Elvis, eh?
<looooooong slow whistle>
Well, I'll say this: the King was sighted after his death alright, and there's a lotta grace in His promised land, but He sure as heck ain't Elvis.
(Man, this kinda stuff gives atheists a bad name.)
