1. Dead bodies don't normally resurrect after three days.
No, they don't, but that doesn't mean that they cannot...particularly if the type of God described in the Christian scriptures exists. If so, there is simply no reason to reject the possibility of a miracle as the explanation of a well-attested event for which no plausible natural explanation exists.
To simply deny Jesus' resurrection, no matter how strong the evidence, is to be biased against the possibility that this could be the one case for which we have been looking to prove the supernatural and God exist.
Quote:2.Heaven's gate members all died for a falsehood they sincerely believed. So willingness to die for something and religious context is useless criteria for truth.
Sure. People die for a belief all the time.
How often do people die willingly for something that they know is a lie? Not "believe", KNOW to be false.
