The fact that Mark, the first gospel, wasn't invented until the desperate times of the fall of the second temple.
The existence of Jesus cults as early as the first century bce.
The fact that orthodoxy was just one of many tales of the godman that happened to win out.
The fact that the cult spread not because of any truth or popularity, but because of the political machinations of Constantine.
That it's spread through guilt avoidance and violence.
That people still believe it today because they're indoctrinated to do so from childhood.
Debate. Or leave. But these asinine evasions end here.

The fact that every single one of the 12 Apostles were condemned to death and killed by the state. Would you die to defend something that you knew in your heart to be a lie Z? Would you go to bat for Jesus? I believe what those men believed, and I don't know if I have the stones to meet the executioner's sword without second thoughts.
