1. You're using folklore to prove mythology.
I've seen the Hollywood imagery of disciples holding their heads high, waiting to be reunited with their savior, while dastardly Romans throw them to the lions, etc. Got any proof it actually happened?
2. People die all the time for crazy cults.
David Koresh, Jim Jones, The Heaven's Gate cult, the list goes on. Fanaticism proves nothing.
