I bet it's pretty easy to arrange for a body that never existed to disappear. I can see it now, the magician onstage triumphantly declaring to have made the statue of liberty disappear:
Audience: But it was never here.....
Magician: Abracadabra!

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight.

So many things wrong with this, don't know where to start...
For arguments sake, I'll stipulate that his body was in the cave.
But your contention that he rose from the dead is more likely than, oh I don't know... that his body could have been stolen?
Seriously?
A 'skeptic' such as yourself, thinks resurrection is more likely than a stolen body.
I could come up with dozens of more likely possibilities for a missing body than a magic resurrection. But you believe the most unlikely is the one that happened.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

It also occurs to me with 40,000 Christian denominations, there are only two (2) LOGICAL outcomes.
39,999 are WRONG
- or -
40,000 are WRONG.
Sucks to be a Christian, don't it ???
(Even more sad if the One True Faith is defunct today, like the Gibsonites, OMFG !!!!)

I just mentioned one, it was stolen. Not even unusual for the time for this to happen.
How about, that it was never there to begin with?
How about one or more of his followers thought he deserved a better burial, and moved the body?

Not even true.
Several of the earliest Christian sects believed that Jesus never came to earth in bodily form, and that he only existed in a spiritual plain.

This is not evidence, this is a claim written in a book, what evidence do you have to support the claim that Jesus body did actually disappear?
Also, sorry to be a grammar nazi (god knows mine is bad enough) but it's could not have been stolen, "cannot of been stolen" just sounds wrong.
