Christianity killers

The apostle Paul says this in his "first" letter to the church in Corinth, chapter 15...

... If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith... For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

Basically Paul is saying that if the events celebrated at Easter did not happen in the way they are described in the gospels then Christians are the most foolish people in the world because they have been deceived by a giant lie.

Starting tomorrow I'll begin to sum up the six popular arguments against the gospel accounts of Easter and see how much weight they hold...
