This next question is going to sound like I'm trying to convince you of something, but I promise I am not lol: How do you feel about a new religion spreading so quickly that it actually created a "turning point" in History? So much so that we use it to tell time? Do you think that's odd, or perfectly reasonable?
How do you feel about the spread of Islam? It was a turning point in history and spread even faster than Christianity?
Seriously, take a look at this video and ask yourself if spreading quickly isn't a fairly common thing? Notice also where Christianity spread, because Jerusalem is not the epicenter one one expect if that's where people really witnessed a resurrection.

Please don't get defensive.
You're acting as though the questions I asked you were rhetorical, but they really weren't. Like I said, I'm not trying to convince you, and neither do I think that fact alone is enough to convince anyone. So, are you able to answer? I'd rather have a discussion than watch a video.
(And as a side note, the significant detail of the question I asked you was: "so much of a turning point that it determines how we tell time"... the same cannot be said about Islam.)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
