       Let me pull up a foundational text against this argument from the Apostle Peter. He said in 2 Peter 1:16, “For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty” (ESV). Notice how Peter clearly challenges anyone who would say that Jesus’ coming or even miracles were lies, myths, or just good stories. Note how he points to the fact that he, and the other Apostles and disciples with him, were “eyewitnesses” to Jesus himself. That is so key and pivotal. That’s one of the best reasons to argue Christianity to be true—the fact that Jesus’ disciples saw him do everything, and saw him after he rose from the dead, and all died martyrs deaths (except for perhaps John). People don’t die from lies unless they are crazy people or have been brainwashed. Eyewitness are not brainwashed, though, as an aside, Muslim terrorists clearly are. They have never seen anything with their own eyes, and yet, they die for lies.
