Then how do you explain that the scripture depicting Jesus as non-miraculous and quite human were excluded from the final edit of the bible? There is the Apocrypha, after all.

Well, of course, mass delusion

Let me stop you right there.

Plenty of people die for what they believe in, but there is still no evidence that what they believed in was real.

I would die for my country, that's real, I would die for my family, they're real, I would die for my church members, they're real, I would die for my Savior and I know for certain He's real. I believe in each one of these I mentioned.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Mass delusion doesn't work that way.

Peter did what I said I would do, I only hope to be 1/2 the man Peter was.

Why not? I've seen it happen before me. Ever lived in a remote village full of superstitious people? All it takes in this case is for one or two villagers to be excited about having witnessed some divine revelation, and everyone starts believing that they did.
