<< It is amusing that while I am accused of begging the question, the only
 argumentation you engage in is the same thing. Present EVIDENCE that the
 disciples stole the body, or the Christ did not die, and maybe I will be
 swayed. However, I think you'll find its pretty hard to accomplish such a
 feat.  >>

Joe Alward:

You may have forgotten how this thread began.  A believer (Carter or Bell)
asserted that Jesus' appearance before his disciples PROVES that he rose from
the dead.  The skeptic has merely pointed out that there is a plausible
alternative explanation for his rising from the tomb:  he wasn't dead when he
was put inside.
