I am sure the apostles were bummed when Jesus didn't save himself from the cross. They probably thought all of their dedication was in vain. But when each of them and many others (even Christs biggest doubters) saw him risen, each apostle gladly witnessed and died for doing so. So who would die for a lie?

Adam died for eating the fruits, but you can find life and forgiveness through Christ. The only difference between a Muslim and a christian is the doctrine of Christ. Muslims think that they could be saved by works, but what they do not know is that they are born with sins in their heart, because of their ancestors' sins. We need Christ to save us from our original sin and our sins as well. It is also a sin to reject Christ and that sin will not be forgiven no matter who you are.

Many people give their lives for beliefs that are clearly lies. Have you ever watched the news? Try looking up some of the crazy suicide cults out there. I certainly wouldn't want to strap on a pair of Nikes and a jumpsuit and then start chugging the crazy Kool-Aid, but that's what does it for some people.
Remember, the early accounts of Jesus rising from the dead were published much later, with the story mangled in the retelling. The Apostles were not the ones who wrote the Bible, you know, and remember that people tend to believe some pretty strange things at times, anyway. Just look at Bigfoot!
What I'm saying is that a few people believing in Jesus coming back to life way back when doesn't mean that he actually came back to life.

I sure wouldn't die for a lie, but I think this paragraph you wrote doesn't do justice to your train of thought on the matter. It seems slightly incomplete. Would you be willing to comment a little more detail on what you mean?

I believe there is a spiritual being yet to come and it is justified in most religious readings of every religion even Christianity. Are you saying this is a lie? How do you know? You are but a mere mortal?

You're on your way to dieing believing a lie/myth. What's the difference between dieing for a lie and living your life under a lie?

Stubborn con artists, that's who.
Besides which, it isn't like the gospels are all that free from biased witness reporting. Anything could have happened 2000 years ago and the people who wrote it later could have said whatever they please.

Someone who didn't know they were being lied to, for one. Or a fool. Neither one of those things particularly surprise me.
