(HIS) So where to from here? What of these ideas and writings from these people from the 1st century ad? Discard them? De-bunk them? I mean if they are fictitious and exagerrated tales of myth then why would we allow a single person within our lives to base their lives upon them? If anything, they are good for the fire (to borrow a saying from one of the books). “If God wanted to be convincing to me and a whole lot of other people, he picked a funny way of inspiring the 4 Resurrection narratives to be believable.” (HIS)

Marcus Borg uses two titles, in terms of a Pre-Easter Jesus and a Post-Easter Jesus. And there is a difference between dying for the belief in Jesus Resurrecting, and dying for the belief in a God. I don't know enough about early Christian writers, but I know part of why early Christians were persecuted is because the other citizens saw them as either athiests, or responsible for the bad things occuring since the Christians weren't praying to the 'right' Gods. If the early Christians, and the disicples, were having an experience with God, then for them, it could've been worth the persection since they were acquanited with the Truth. **Would they have been willing to die for a hoax that they had helped propagate? **

Would they have been willing to die for a hoax that they had helped propagate? It is interesting that the diciples were willing to die for their faith (as history tells us).
