Or Buddhism. There's a gap from age 12(?) to age 33 in the life of Jesus. I doubt he was simply making cabinets that entire time. More likely he traveled East. A lot of Christian philosphy mirrors Buddhism.Maybe he borrowed it from the HIndi's?

Jesus having a near death experience would certainly fit the facts as we know them.

Agreed. As you've pointed out in the past, many of the Apostles faced both prison and execution for their beliefs. I doubt many people would sacrifice their lives for an illusion or fabrication.Jesus having a near death experience would certainly fit the facts as we know them.
The attestations and manuscript evidence that his followers genuinely believed they saw him after the crucifixion is too strong to discount by using claims that the disciples were just all having a mass hallucination, or that they conspired to concoct a lie.
you mean like the fabrication that whites from Europe are real Jews?Agreed. As you've pointed out in the past, many of the Apostles faced both prison and execution for their beliefs. I doubt many people would sacrifice their lives for an illusion or fabrication.

the easy sell is that the golden rule is a rational system for morality. no miracle required.If one believes there is a supernatural providential power in the universe, then Christ escaping death is reasonable to believe.
Make up your own mind and stop stressing out about what I believe.

Since there is zero evidence of "magic" or supernatural events outside the realm of natural probability and, given the circumstances and known facts of the crucifixion, the initial survival of Jesus after the crucifixion is the most rational conclusion. For the place and time, it would be seen as miraculous as the "lone survivor" of plane crashes such as Vishwash Kumar Ramesh of Air India flight 171 out of 260 passengers and people on the ground.If one believes in strict physical materialism, a near death experience for Jesus is the best hypothesis that fits the facts.
