>That means nothing in itself. To believe something does not make it true. It just makes it something that some might be willing to kill for or to die for. Are you contending that if a dozen or so persons believes something so thoroughly that they are willing to die for it, then it must necessarily be 'truth'?

You missed the point. They saw and interacted with a RESURRECTED man, after seeing him be die on the cross. They were not acting on hearsay, circular reasoning, or whatever you want to call it.

>Charles Manson, and every other cult leader and their followers will be very happy to hear this bit of wisdom.

No cult leader you can name has done anything compared to what Jesus did. Many people have died for a lie. The Apostles would have KNOWINGLY suffered and died for a lie. Big difference.
